Across the humanities, a set of interrelated concepts - excess, becoming, the event - have gained purchase as analytical tools for thinking about power. Some versions of affect theory rely on Gilles Deleuze's concept of 'becoming', proposing that affect is best understood as a field of dynamic novelty. Reconsidering affect theory's relationship with life sciences, Schaefer argu...(展开全部)

Based on his work at some of the world's largest companies, including Ford, Adidas, and Chanel, Christian Madsbjerg's Sensemaking is a provocative stand against the tyranny of big data and scientism, and an urgent, overdue defense of human intelligence. Humans have become subservient to algorithms. Every day brings a new Moneyball fix--a math whiz who will crack open an industr...(展开全部)

Professor John Maynard Smith has written an account of a new way of thinking about evolution which has been developed in the last ten years. The theory of games, first developed to analyse economic behaviour, is modified so that it can be applied to evolving populations. John Maynard Smith's concept of an evolutionarily stable strategy is relevant whenever the best thing for an...(展开全部)

Game theory is central to understanding human behavior and relevant to all of the behavioral sciences--from biology and economics, to anthropology and political science. However, as The Bounds of Reason demonstrates, game theory alone cannot fully explain human behavior and should instead complement other key concepts championed by the behavioral disciplines. Herbert Gintis sho...(展开全部)

Continuing his exploration of the organization of complexity and the science of design, this new edition of Herbert Simon's classic work on artificial intelligence adds a chapter that sorts out the current themes and tools -- chaos, adaptive systems, genetic algorithms -- for analyzing complexity and complex systems.There are updates throughout the book as well. These take into...(展开全部)

作者/[美]海因茨•R.帕格尔斯（Heinz R.Pagels） 美国著名物理学家兼科学作家。曾任洛克菲勒大学副教授、纽约科学院执行董事兼执行长。除了科学家的身份，海因茨也积极参与公共事务，关心人权议题；曾任纽约大学人文科学研究所的评议委员，试图使科学与人文不再有隔阂。海因茨的天赋在于能用简单的表达解释艰涩概念。 著作包括《宇宙密码》（The Cosmic Code）、《完美对称》（Perfect Symmetry），皆获科学界一致赞赏。《大师说科学与哲学》则将科学讨论带往更高层次，除了预言复杂性科学对人类的影响，也讨论了分道扬镳的科学与哲学如何才能重新融合。 海因茨于1998年夏天，在前往阿斯本物理中心的路上遭遇山难，英年早逝，而其留世的《大师说科学与哲学》，仍继续影响着我们的思想，成为不朽之作。 译者/牟中原 出生于台湾基隆，台湾大学化学系毕业，...(展开全部)
