Synopsis
Explores the impact scientific knowledge has on humanityExamines Steve Fuller's work in social epistemologyDiscusses how the nanosciences, synthetic biology and computer technology is changing humanity to humanity 2.0, This book examines Fuller's pioneering vision of social epistemology. It focuses specifically on his work post-2000, which is founded in the changing conception of humanity and project into a 'post-' or 'trans-' human future. Chapters treat especially Fuller's provocative response to the changing boundary conditions of the knower due to anticipated changes in humanity coming from the nanosciences, neuroscience, synthetic biology and computer technology and end on an interview with Fuller himself. While Fuller's turn in this direction has invited at least as much criticism as his earlier work, to him the result is an extended sense of the knower, or 'humanity 2.0', which Fuller himself identifies with transhumanism. The authors assess Fuller's work on the following issues: Science and Technology Studies (STS), the university and intellectual life, neo-liberal political economy, intelligent design, Cosmism, Gnosticism, agent-oriented epistemology, proactionary vs precautionary principles and Welfare State 2.0.

    fairly happy with the transaction. no issues. although i do believe this product originally comes with a micro sd (which was not present when i bought) item was described as open box and i should have no problem acquiring my own micro sd so all is well. arrived in timely manner and seller is responsive. besides it having no micro sd the item is in great condition (for the record the micro sd was never advertised)
