The Future of Post-Human Engineering
A Preface to a New Theory of Technology
Is mass media informational and accurate or disinformational and propagandistic? Neither view is correct. Something vital has been missing from the analysis. This book shows a better way to understand mass media, one that will alter our future.

Evolutionary Analogies
Is the Process of Scientific Change Analogous to the Organic Change?
This book presents a serious challenge to the analogy between biological and scientific change. It argues that such theories are sketchy or unpersuasive, shedding new light on one of the dominant theories of scientific progress.

Can scientific principles be a priori yet still change? This book argues they can be, proposing a novel concept: a priori revisability. Using case studies from physics and geometry, it reveals a new dynamic of science driven by non-empirical moves.

From a Heuristic Point of View
Essays in Honour of Carlo Cellucci
How do we get new knowledge? Carlo Cellucci argues that traditional logic is inadequate. We need a new, heuristic logic for generating knowledge. This book is a collection of essays from leading figures who discuss, criticize, and expand on Cellucci’s work.

One Magisterium
How Nature Knows through Us
An author with work in neuroscience, religion, and cognitive science tackles the Big Issues of science, faith, and innovation. The remarkable conclusion: by paying attention to ontology, or levels of being, algorithms work better and damaging culture clashes disappear.

Information Infrastructure(s)
Boundaries, Ecologies, Multiplicity
This book explores how information infrastructures enable, but also constrain, cooperation across different groups. It questions the role of the material and immaterial objects connecting us—from devices and networks to society itself.
