Scientific Imperialism
The growing body of research on interdisciplinarity has encouraged a more in depth analysis of the relations that hold among academic disciplines. In particular, the incursion of one scientific discipline into another discipline’s traditional domain, also known as scientific imperialism, has been a matter of increasing debate. Following this trend, Scientific Imperialism aims to bring together philosophers of science and historians of science interested in the topic of scientific imperialism and, in particular, interested in the conceptual clarification, empirical identification, and normative assessment of the idea of scientific imperialism. Thus, this innovative volume has two main goals...
Voitto
Onko maailmassa mitään voittamista makeampaa? Älykkäitä ja hauskoja esseitä voittamisen kulttuurista, miekkailusta, Havis Amandassa uimisesta ja miehistä avaruudessa pelastamassa maailmaa. Kun Suomi voittaa lätkän maailmanmestaruuden, älymystö pysyy juhlinnasta visusti etäällä. Miksi? Cheekin suuruudenhullua menestyssaagaa pidetään vähän naurettavana. Miksi? Sofia Blanco Sequeiroksen esseeteos on karismaattinen, yllättävä ja silmiä avaava kirja voiton tavoittelusta ja saavuttamisesta. Esseissä käydään miekkailukilpailuissa, analysoidaan elokuvia, joissa mies on yksin avaruudessa pelastamassa maailmaa, ja havaitaan, että kun maailma palaa, filosofeilla käynnistyvät sössötystalkoot. Sofia Blanco Sequeiros on oululaislähtöinen kirjallisuuskriitikko, filosofi ja miekkailija. Hän on kirjoittanut arvosteluja mm. Nuoreen Voimaan ja valmistelee väitöskirjaa tieteenfilosofiasta. Voitto on hänen esikoisteoksensa.
Metamodernismi
Metamodernism. The Change in Literature and Culture in 21st Century Finland maps the state and transformation of contemporary Finnish literature and culture since the postmodern era. The work highlights, from different perspectives, how this change and the metamodernism it represents are manifested in contemporary Finnish literature and culture. The collection aims to offer a broad understanding of how metamodernism is seen and implemented in Finnish culture. Metamodernism outlines the framework theoretically, conceptualizing the new phase as a nascent metamodernity that is taking shape on a global scale in different societies and cultures, especially in the Western world. The book’s 15 chapters, although the majority focus on literature, explore a wide range of genres including rap poetry, experimental poetry and prose, speculative fiction and children’s literature.
The Construction of Human Kinds
Ron Mallon explores how thinking and talking about kinds of person can bring those kinds into being. He considers what normative implications this social constructionism has for our understanding of our practices of representing human kinds, like race, gender, and sexual orientation, and for our own agency.

Korona
Merkittävä tietokirja koronan yhteiskunnallisista vaikutuksista Koronakriisi muutti maailmaa. Korona on tehnyt näkyväksi ”digitaalisen riskiyhteiskunnan”, jossa ihmisiä ja yhteiskuntaa järisyttävät tapahtumat koetaan median välityksellä samanaikaisesti eri puolilla maailmaa. Sosiologi Ulrich Beck näki 1980-luvulla maailman menevän kohti ”riskiyhteiskuntaa”, jossa sosiaaliset, poliittiset, taloudelliset ja yksilölliset riskit luisuvat yhteiskunnan seuranta- ja turvainstituutioiden otteesta. Digitaalisessa riskiyhteiskunnassa hybridi mediatila luo yllättäviä ilmiöitä ja seurauksia, jotka leviävät globaalisti. Tämä tekee siitä vaikeasti hallittavan ja ennakoitavan...
