This book tells the story of how the "servile arts" turned into the "mechanical arts," which in turn developed into a kind of philosophical apparatus that made modern science possible. Why did the scientific revolution take place in the West and not in China or the Islamic world? How did humanity’s progress in science and technology, which had been moving along at a relatively steady pace for tens of thousands of years, end up taking such an unprecedented leap? Subjecting the history of thought and technology to a novel interpretation based on the relationship between theory and practice, Ahmet Selami Çalışkan argues that the industrial revolution and modern science—and the scientific revolution that preceded both—did not alone suffice to sort out the philosophical problems of their day or to produce the institutions of the modern age. Both required a new sort of human: Homo economicus faber. Tracing the historical emergence of this figure and its persistence in our own age, this book offers an innovative and holistic assessment of the economic, cultural and political effects of centuries of interaction between East and West and their repercussions in our world today.

The Enlightenment of the 18th century ushered in a new order of the ages, one in which man displaced God as the central focus of both thought and practice. This has had consequences. For one thing, man has taken up the supposedly vacated role of Providence. How has he done it? Not least by gaining an increasing mastery over nature, a mastery enabled by technology. The tools provided by technology have undeniably brought great blessing, but they have also brought new and unprecedented problems. Such powerful tools have given mankind opportunities for good but also for evil, and he has taken advantage of both. In this series of articles written and published over a period of 50 years, Egbert Schuurman elucidates this complex and difficult relationship. Technology has generated a material culture capable of providing undreamed-of wealth and welfare but likewise has brought labor displacement, environmental damage, weaponry of devastating destructive capacity, and possibilities of societal control only dreamed of by history's tyrants. Schuurman expands on all of these consequences, and he does so from a unique perspective, that of the once-dominant but since-displaced perspective of Christianity. In doing so, he demonstrates not only that there are opportunities as well as difficulties involved in the ever-expanding dominance of technology, but also that Christianity can provide the framework for properly assessing and implementing the responsible application of technology. But for this to happen, the sorcerer's apprentice needs to recognize his utter dependence on his Creator and Redeemer.

Bringing together an exciting group of knowledge workers, scholars and activists from across fields, this book revisits a foundational question of the Enlightenment: what is the last or furthest end of knowledge? It is a book about why we do what we do, and how we might know when we are done. In the reorganization of knowledge that characterized the Enlightenment, disciplines were conceived as having particular ends, both in terms of purposes and end-points. As we experience an ongoing shift to the knowledge economy of the Information Age, this collection asks whether we still conceptualize knowledge in this way. Does an individual discipline have both an inherent purpose and a natural endpoint? What do an experiment on a fruit fly, a reading of a poem, and the writing of a line of code have in common? Focusing on areas as diverse as AI; biology; Black studies; literary studies; physics; political activism; and the concept of disciplinarity itself, contributors uncover a life after disciplinarity for subjects that face immediate threats to the structure if not the substance of their contributions. These essays whether reflective, historical, eulogistic, or polemical chart a vital and necessary course towards the reorganization of knowledge production as a whole.

In Pope Pius XII on the Economic Order, economist Rupert J. Ederer explores the views of Eugenio Pacelli, who served as pope during the tumultuous period of 1939 to 1958. Prodigious in his output, Pius XII produced 40 encyclicals, 19 highly regarded Christmas messages, and series of addresses to groups and organizations, laying the groundwork for the economic views of his successors. According to Ederer, it "is safe to say that no Roman pontiff has addressed the problems confronting the social order as frequently and as widely outside the formal structure of encyclicals as Pius XII. This applies in a special way to his masterful and prophetic Christmas Messages." Through the study of Pius XII's encyclicals and Christmas messages, Ederer examines this important pontiff's views on economics and the social order, the world of work, agriculture and farmers, food and population, the middle class, and the world of money and finance. Students and scholars interested in the history of Pius XII's papacy will find in Ederer's analysis an insightful study of Catholic economic thought during an era when nations representing the forces of capitalism, fascism, and Communism were joined in a fierce battle for dominance.

By interrogating the terms and concepts most central to cultural change, Future Theory interrogates how theory can play a central role in dynamic transition. It demonstrates how entangled the highly politicized spheres of cultural production, scientific invention, and intellectual discourse are in the contemporary world and how new concepts and forms of thinking are crucial to embarking upon change. Future Theory is built around five key concepts – boundaries, organization, rupture, novelty, futurity – examined by leading international thinkers to build a vision of how theory can be applied to a constantly shifting world.

This volume grew out of the experience of the First Inter-American Congress on Philosophy of Technology, October 1988, organized by the Center for the Philosophy and History of Science and Technology of the University of Puerto Rico in Mayagiiez. The Spanish-language proceedings of that conference have been published in Carl Mitcham and Margarita M. Peiia Borrero, with Elena Lugo and James Ward, eds., El nuevo mundo de la filosofta y la tecnolog(a (University Park, PA: STS Press, 1990). This volume contains thirty-two papers, twenty-two summaries, an introduction and biographical notes, to provide a full record of that seminal gathering. Discussions with Paul T. Durbin and others - including many who participated in the Second Inter-American Congress on Philosophy of Technology, University of Puerto Rico in Mayagiiez, March 199- raised the prospect of an English-language proceedings in the Philosophy and Technology series. But after due consideration it was agreed that a more general volume was needed to introduce English-speaking readers to a growing body of literature on the philosophy of technology in the Spanish-speaking world. As such, the present volume includes Spanish as well as Latin American authors, historical and contemporary figures, some who did and many who did not participate in the first and second inter-American congresses.

Bilim Devrimi niye Çin’de ya da İslam coğrafyasında değil de özellikle Batı’da gerçekleşti? İnsanlığın on binlerce yıl boyunca belli bir hızda seyreden teknik ve teknoloji üretimi nasıl oldu da daha önce benzeri görülmemiş bir sıçrama gerçekleştirdi? Ahmet Selami Çalışkan, Bilim Devrimi Homo Faber – Homo Economicus Dayanışmaşı kitabında, düşünce ve teknoloji tarihini teori-pratik ilişkisi açısından farklı bir okumaya tâbi tutuyor. Sanayi Devrimine giden yolun Bilim Devrimi ile nasıl açıldığını ve bunun niçin Batı’da gerçekleştiğini ayrıntılı bir şekilde tahlil ediyor. Belirli filozofların entelektüel serüveninin veya kurumların ortaya çıkış̧ sürecinin, modern bilim veya onun arka planında yatan Bilim Devrimi gibi karmaşık bir olguyu çözümlemeye tek başına kâfi gelemeyeceğini gösteren Çalışkan, Doğu-Batı etkileşimlerinin ekonomik, kültürel ve siyasî etkilerini de bütüncül yaklaşımına dâhil ederek artık dünyada Homo Economicus Faber olarak varlığını sürdüren yeni insanın ortaya çıkış tarihini gözler önüne seriyor. Bilim Devrimi Homo Faber – Homo Economicus Dayanışmaşı hakkında değerlendirmeler; Türkiye’de Bilim Devrimi konusunda yayımlanan çalışmaların çoğu çeviriydi. Zengin bir bibliyografyaya dayanarak telif bir eser ortaya koymanız, önemli bir boşluğu dolduruyor. Hem benim, hem de tavsiye edeceğim öğrencilerim için öğretici bir eser olacak. Prof. Dr. Feza Günergün – İstanbul Üniversitesi Bilim Tarihi Bölüm Başkanı Gerçekten Bilim Tarihi derslerimizde kullandığımız kaynaklara ekleyip okutulacak bir eser olduğu kanaatindeyim. Bu çalışmanızdan dolayı sizi çok tebrik ederiz. Bunun yanında yüksek lisans öğrencilerimize de okumalarını tavsiye edeceğim. Doç. Dr. Kasım Müminoğlu – Alparslan Üniversitesi Felsefe Bölüm Başkanı Kaynak açısından oldukça zengin olan bu kitabın temel amacı, modern bilim ve teknoloji ile bunların yaslandığı zaman, mekân ve insan tasavvuru arasındaki irtibatı tarihî bir bağlam içinde anlamak ve anlamlandırmaktır. Bilim ve sanat tarihi, bilimsel ve teknolojik icadlar ile felsefeyi ortak bir potada eriten, bilgece yazılmış bu kitabı, ‘modern akıl’ı ve onun ardında yatan bilim ve toplum tasavvurunu anlamak isteyen herkes okumalı. Prof. Dr. Berdal Aral – Medeniyet Üniversitesi Dr. Ahmet Selami Çalışkan Bilim Devrimi kitabında söz konusu soruları bütün yönleriyle analiz etmiş yani teknoloji denen bu büyünün sırrını ve onun temelinde bulunan zihniyeti ifşa etmiştir. Bu yönüyle konuya ilgi duyanlar için bu kitap vazgeçilmez bir kaynaktır. Nasıl ilgi duyumasın ki? Teknoloji artık hayatımızın olmaz ise olmazı haline gelmiştir.
