This book explores the big data evolution by interrogating the notion that big data is a disruptive innovation that appears to be challenging existing epistemologies in the humanities and social sciences. Exploring various (controversial) facets of big data such as ethics, data power, and data justice, the book attempts to clarify the trajectory of the epistemology of (big) data-driven science in the humanities and social sciences.

Die digitale Revolution ist nicht nur ein Angriff auf die Grundlagen von Aufmerksamkeit und Intellektualität - ihre Auswirkungen sind zugleich eine Herausforderung für die Intellektuellen, die hierauf allzu oft nur mit Ratlosigkeit oder Gedankenakrobatik zu reagieren wissen. Hans-Willi Weis lädt zu einer Tour d'Horizon durch intellektuelle Zeitgeistdiskurse ein. Er schlägt den Bogen von der Kritik in sich leer laufender Diskurse zu einer das Denken und das Diskursive revitalisierenden neuen Aufmerksamkeitspraxis und zeigt, wie man der digitalen Aufmerksamkeitsdiffusion und den Zwängen entgrenzter Netzaktivität je individuell mit der yogischen Übung methodischer Unterbrechung zu begegnen vermag. »Ein Gewinn für die, die fragen, ob es alternative oder ergänzende Wege der Selbstverständigung oder Selbststeuerung in existenziellen Fragen gibt. Viel geistes- und kulturwissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisgewinn gepaart mit bester Unterhaltung [...]. Das Anliegen kann man teilen oder nicht, ein intellektueller Mehrwert wird nach der Lektüre bleiben.« amazon, 09.11.2015 Besprochen in: www.socialnet.de, 26.11.2015, Jos Schnurer

Die liberale Demokratie steht weltweit unter Druck. Sie wird durch antiliberale Bewegungen und Parteien ebenso herausgefordert wie durch autoritäre Regimes. Liberalismus als parteiübergreifende Strömung ist in die Defensive geraten und wird oft mit Marktradikalismus, sozialer Kälte und ökologischer Ignoranz assoziiert. Die namhaften Beiträger*innen zeigen, dass der Liberalismus als Denkrichtung jedoch nicht tot ist. Sie stellen in essayistischer Weise Ideen und Ansätze für neue liberale Konzepte zur Bewältigung der großen Herausforderungen unserer Zeit vor: von Klimawandel, Globalisierung und digitaler Revolution bis zur transnationalen Migration und zunehmenden sozialen Ungleichheit.

La rivoluzione legata alla diffusione sempre più ampia delle tecnologie informatiche ha assunto i caratteri di una svolta epocale. E in questo volume il lettore non troverà una critica o una condanna della tecnica alla maniera di Heidegger e dei vari «pastori dell’Essere» che sulla sua linea si sono succeduti. Anzi, nella visione dell’autore, l’informatica offre una grande occasione all’umanità di entrare in una comunicazione generalizzata con se stessa, nel segno di un’integrazione possibile dell’intero genere umano. Ciò però a patto che la rivoluzione digitale sia accompagnata da una radicalizzazione dell’umanesimo, da una nuova antropologia che, in dialogo con una nuova tecnologia, metta a tema la costituzione di una «mente emozionale e materiale», capace di stringere insieme valore biologico-affettivo e valore logico-conoscitivo. Attraverso alcuni percorsi classici della filosofia (Spinoza, Kant, Hegel), mediante un recupero della psicoanalisi freudiana – al di fuori della recente volgarizzazione italiana di Lacan – e coniugando il discorso marxiano intorno alla tecnologia con un’analisi anti-heideggeriana della techne nella Grecia antica, il libro propone una propria via di uscita dall’impasse del tempo presente.

The information age owes its existence to a little-known but crucial development, the theoretical study of logic and the foundations of mathematics. The Great Formal Machinery Works draws on original sources and rare archival materials to trace the history of the theories of deduction and computation that laid the logical foundations for the digital revolution.Jan von Plato examines the contributions of figures such as Aristotle; the nineteenth-century German polymath Hermann Grassmann; George Boole, whose Boolean logic would prove essential to programming languages and computing; Ernst Schröder, best known for his work on algebraic logic; and Giuseppe Peano, cofounder of mathematical logic. Von Plato shows how the idea of a formal proof in mathematics emerged gradually in the second half of the nineteenth century, hand in hand with the notion of a formal process of computation. A turning point was reached by 1930, when Kurt Gödel conceived his celebrated incompleteness theorems. They were an enormous boost to the study of formal languages and computability, which were brought to perfection by the end of the 1930s with precise theories of formal languages and formal deduction and parallel theories of algorithmic computability. Von Plato describes how the first theoretical ideas of a computer soon emerged in the work of Alan Turing in 1936 and John von Neumann some years later.Shedding new light on this crucial chapter in the history of science, The Great Formal Machinery Works is essential reading for students and researchers in logic, mathematics, and computer science.
