La gerarchia di Ackermann
Fra le stregate geometrie di Longo, che congiungono Trieste e Budapest, l’Europa e il Mondo, scorre un fiume impetuoso di ricordi che sgorgano dai sedimenti limacciosi del tempo: un enigmatico plico giunto dall’Ungheria fa tornare alla mente del matematico triestino Guido Marenzi una storia d’amore e di follia che ha vissuto a Budapest vent’anni prima e dalla quale è uscito spezzato. Imprigionato tra la morsa dell’eros e quella del destino, accompagnato da personaggi elusivi, dalla musica greve del Castello di Barbablù e dal pensiero ossessivo della morte, Guido ripercorre per ventiquattr’ore quella lontana vicenda, e dal lavorio della memoria emerge trasformato. Sul finire del giorno, si sente pervaso da una mitigata speranza: liberandosi dal groviglio di esaltazione e di dolore che l’ha rinchiuso, vede comparire un mondo diverso, più dolce e placato.
The Two Cultures: Shared Problems
The aim of the book is to encourage an in-depth discussion of problems of fundamental importance that are common to the two cultures, but that are traditionally seen from different perspectives. The forum will bring together scientists, philosophers, humanists, musicians with the aim of fostering comprehension of problems that have traditionally troubled humankind, and establish more fertile grounds for the communication between the two cultures. The themes of the contributions are the followings: the concept of time, infinity, the concept and meaning of nothingness, numbers, intelligence and the human mind, basic mechanisms in the production of thought and of artistic creation, the relationship between artistic and scientific creativity.

Kyosei, Culture and Sustainable Technology
We all are users of technology and services, but the way we use them strongly depends on who our 'interlocutor' is: a machine, a software application or a person. The contributions of this volume look at the concept of the user from various perspectives and continue to discuss the theme started in volume three on the user of the artificial. Topics include: man-machine relations such as the user and the virtual world of the internet or users in various cultural contexts of the artificial. The second part of the book focuses on man-nature relations and introduces the Japanese concept of Kyosei (symbiosis) in the context of technology and the environment.
Transhumanism - Engineering the Human Condition
This book is designed to offer a comprehensive high-level introduction to transhumanism, an international political and cultural movement that aims to produce a “paradigm shift” in our ethical and political understanding of human evolution. Transhumanist thinkers want the human species to take the course of evolution into its own hands, using advanced technologies currently under development – such as robotics, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, cognitive neurosciences, and nanotechnology – to overcome our present physical and mental limitations, improve our intelligence beyond the current maximum achievable level, acquire skills that are currently the preserve of other species,...
