Rediscovering Aesthetics
Rediscovering Aesthetics brings together prominent international voices from art history, philosophy and artistic practice who reflect on current notions, functions, and applications of aesthetics in their distinctive fields.
Giving Bodies Back to Data
An examination of the bodily, situated aspects of data-visualization work, looking at visualization practices around the development of MRI technology. Our bodies are scanned, probed, imaged, sampled, and transformed into data by clinicians and technologists. In this book, Silvia Casini reveals the affective relations and materiality that turn data into image--and in so doing, gives bodies back to data. Opening the black box of MRI technology, Casini examines the bodily, situated aspects of visualization practices around the development of this technology. Reframing existing narratives of biomedical innovation, she emphasizes the important but often overlooked roles played by aesthetics, aff...
羅素與杜威
20世紀被某些西方學者稱為「哲學中的孿生兄弟」的兩位哲學大家羅素（William Russell, 1872-1970）與杜威（John Dewey, 1859-1952），一生曾有數次交集，他們彼此分享了對於國際主義、科學方法與社會問題的觀點，同樣地懷疑教條──特別是宗教的教條；然而，兩人的思想終究異多於同，一種絕對的障礙將他們分開，那便是杜威的實用主義。 對中國知識界來說，別具意義的是這兩位享譽世界的西方大哲幾乎同時訪華，並對中國產生極大影響。羅素與杜威皆尖銳批判18世紀以來歐洲主流的「恐華觀」，抱持相對「崇華」的熱情來到中國，他們造成的衝擊是空前的，不僅被中國知識界稱為西方「德先生」和「賽先生」的化身，還都曾被譽為「西方孔子」或「孔子第二」。可以說，1920年代的中國經歷了一個「羅素化」與「杜威化」的交叉過程。本書探討這兩位西方大哲及其思想對於中國產生的不同影響，並進行深入比較。
Kant's Theory of Normativity
A milestone in Kant scholarship, this interpretation of his critical philosophy makes sense of his notorious 'synthetic judgments a priori'.
Demystifying Bilingualism
This book analyses changing views on bilingualism in Cognitive Psychology and explores their socio-cultural embeddedness. It offers a new, innovative perspective on the debate on possible cognitive (dis)advantages in bilinguals, arguing that it is biased by popular “language myths”, which often manifest themselves in the form of metaphors. Since its beginnings, Cognitive Psychology has consistently modelled the coexistence between languages in the brain using metaphors of struggle, conflict and competition. However, an ideological shift from nationalist and monolingual ideologies to the celebration of bilingualism under multicultural and neoliberal ideologies in the course of the 20th century fostered opposing interpretations of language coexistence in the brain and its effects on bilinguals at different moments in time. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of Cognitive Psychology, Psycholinguistics, Multilingualism and Applied Linguistics, Cognitive and Computational Linguistics, and Critical Metaphor Analysis.
Making Foreigners
This book connects the history of immigration with histories of Native Americans, African Americans, women, the poor, Latino/a Americans and Asian Americans.
Classical And Quantum Dynamics In Condensed Phase Simulations: Proceedings Of The International School Of Physics
The school held at Villa Marigola, Lerici, Italy, in July 1997 was very much an educational experiment aimed not just at teaching a new generation of students the latest developments in computer simulation methods and theory, but also at bringing together researchers from the condensed matter computer simulation community, the biophysical chemistry community and the quantum dynamics community to confront the shared problem: the development of methods to treat the dynamics of quantum condensed phase systems.This volume collects the lectures delivered there. Due to the focus of the school, the contributions divide along natural lines into two broad groups: (1) the most sophisticated forms of the art of computer simulation, including biased phase space sampling schemes, methods which address the multiplicity of time scales in condensed phase problems, and static equilibrium methods for treating quantum systems; (2) the contributions on quantum dynamics, including methods for mixing quantum and classical dynamics in condensed phase simulations and methods capable of treating all degrees of freedom quantum-mechanically.
