Contact with Reality
Is knowledge discovered, or just invented? Can we ever get outside ourselves to know how reality is in itself, independent of us? Philosophical realism raises the question whether in our knowing we connect with an independent reality--or only connect with our own mental constructs. Far from being a silly parlor game, the question impacts our lives concretely and deeply. Modern Western culture has been infected with antirealism and the doubt, skepticism, subjectivism, relativism, and atheism that attends it--not to mention distrust and arbitrary (mis)use of reality. Premier scientist-turned-philosopher Michael Polanyi stepped aside from research to offer an innovative account of knowing that ...

Postkritický proud v současné angloamerické teologii
Tato kniha ovšem nechce pouze podat přehled o jednom proudu teologického uvažování. Jako červená niť se jí vine otázka, “jak dělat teologii dnes“. V návaznosti na Polányiho teorii vědeckých objevů chce sama uvádět na cestu teologického objevování, po které před námi kráčely velké postavy Písma svatého a dějin křesťanství. K této cestě patří “indwelling“ - přebývání v realitě, o níž teolog píše, především bohoslužebný kontakt s teologickou skutečností a otevřenost tomu, jak se nám tato skutečnost dává poznat, dále učednictví a víra, která hledá porozumění.
The Sum of the People
This fascinating three-thousand-year history of the census traces the making of the modern survey and explores its political power in the age of big data and surveillance. In April 2020, the United States will embark on what has been called "the largest peacetime mobilization in American history": the decennial population census. It is part of a tradition of counting people that goes back at least three millennia and now spans the globe. In The Sum of the People, data scientist Andrew Whitby traces the remarkable history of the census, from ancient China and the Roman Empire, through revolutionary America and Nazi-occupied Europe, to the steps of the Supreme Court. Marvels of democracy, instruments of exclusion, and, at worst, tools of tyranny and genocide, censuses have always profoundly shaped the societies we've built. Today, as we struggle to resist the creep of mass surveillance, the traditional census -- direct and transparent -- may offer the seeds of an alternative.
