Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Transductions Bodies And Machines At Speed Continuum Collection Series
Book SynopsisPart of the "Technologies: Studies in Culture and Theory" series. Through a critical analysis of the widely accepted notion that technology speeds everything up, this book argues that there are only ever differences in speed. The question for us is how can such differences be represented?Trade Review"Mackenzie seeks to pinpoint the relationship between conceptions of technology and technology as a physical and temporal process. Although Mackenzie's philosophical exploration of transductions of the living and nonliving addresses broad subject matter, the underlying concepts are analyzed with precision." Summing Up: Recommended. -- CHOICETable of ContentsIntroduction; 1. Radical contingency and the materializations of technology; 2. From stone to radiation: the depth and speed of technical embodiments; 3. The technicity of time: 1.00 oscillations/sec to 9,192,631,770 Hz; 4. Infrastructure and individuation: speed and delay in Stelarc's Ping Body'; 5. Losing time at the PlayStation: realtime and the 'whatever' body; 6.

Cambridge University Press Definitions and Mathematical Knowledge
Book SynopsisThis Element discusses the philosophical roles of definitions in the attainment of mathematical knowledge. It first focuses on the role of definitions in foundational programs, and then examines their major varieties, both as regards their origins, their potential epistemic roles, and their formal constraints. It examines explicit definitions, implicit definitions, and implicit definitions of primitive terms, these latter being further divided into axiomatic and abstractive. After discussing elucidations and explications, various ways in which definitions can yield mathematical knowledge are surveyed.
