Thinking with J. Z. Smith - - Bog - Equinox Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Thinking with J. Z. Smith - - Bog - Equinox Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

In his bio-bibliographical essay, J. Z. Smith wrote that he was fond of the expression "when the chips are down" in the sense of all being said and done. With his passing in December 2017, the phrase has gained an additional layer of sad finality-the chips are really down. Scholarship is not poker, however, which means that these chips not only can but in fact should be picked up and circulated. Thinking with J. Z. Smith brings together the contributions of scholars who do exactly that by considering theoretical and methodological issues central to J. Z. Smith''s oeuvre in the context of their own research. Through analyses of Smith''s own work as well as applications of his concerns to new situations, historic periods, and regions, the contributors to this volume test the adequacy and applicability of Smith''s ideas and provide an indirect assessment of his influence and legacy in the field of religious studies.

What AI Can Do - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

What AI Can Do - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The philosopher Spinoza once asserted that no one knows what a body can do, conceiving an intrinsic bodily power with unknown limits. Similarly, we can ask ourselves about Artificial Intelligence (AI): To what extent is the development of intelligence limited by its technical and material substrate? In other words, what can AI do? The answer is analogous to Spinoza’s: Nobody knows the limit of AI. Critically considering this issue from philosophical, interdisciplinary, and engineering perspectives, respectively, this book assesses the scope and pertinence of AI technology and explores how it could bring about both a better and more unpredictable future. What AI Can Do highlights, at both the theoretical and practical levels, the cross-cutting relevance that AI is having on society, appealing to students of engineering, computer science, and philosophy, as well as all who hold a practical interest in the technology.

Why Do Actors Train? - Brad Krumholz - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Why Do Actors Train? - Brad Krumholz - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

How are we to understand the actor’s work as a fully embodied process?'Embodied cognition' is a branch of contemporary philosophy which attempts to frame human understanding as fully embodied interaction with the environment. Engaging with ideas of contemporary significance from neuroscience, psychology, linguistics, and philosophy, Why Do Actors Train? challenges the outmoded dualistic notions of body and mind that permeate common conceptions of how actors work. Theories of embodiment are drawn up to shed important light on the ways and reasons actors do what they do. Through detailed, step-by-step analyses of specific actor-training exercises, the author examines the tools that actors use to bring life and meaning to the stage. This book provides theatre practitioners and scholars alike with a new lens to re-examine the craft of acting, offering a framework to understand the art form as one that is fundamentally grounded in embodied experience.

How To Do Things With Shakespeare - - Bog - John Wiley and Sons Ltd - Plusbog.dk

How To Do Things With Shakespeare - - Bog - John Wiley and Sons Ltd - Plusbog.dk

HOW TO DO THINGS WITH SHAKESPEARE HOW TO DO THINGS WITH SHAKESPEARE “This is a companion to Shakespeare with a difference. Vive la différance !” DAVID BEVINGTON, UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO “Doing things with literature: scholarly articles are not the only way to go. Aristotle uses a lecture, Horace a letter, Sidney a mock oration. Laurie Maguire and the contributors to this book engage in a genial conversation that invites students in. Like all good conversations, this one admits first-person candor, keeps things lively by changing the subject five times, welcomes disagreements, and waits for what the reader-listener is going to do in response.” BRUCE SMITH, UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, LOS ANGELES

Knowing What To Do - Sophie Grace Chappell - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Knowing What To Do - Sophie Grace Chappell - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Sophie Grace Chappell develops a picture of what philosophical ethics can be like, once set aside from the idealising and reductive pressures of conventional moral theory. His question is ''How are we to know what to do?'', and the answer he defends is ''By developing our moral imaginations''. The series of studies presented in Knowing What To Do contribute to the case that the moral imagination is a key part of human excellence or virtue by showing that it plays a wide variety of roles in our practical and evaluative lives. There is no short-cut or formulaic way of knowing what to do; but the longer and more painstaking approach is more rewarding anyway. This approach involves developing our repertoire of natural human capacities for imagination, open deliberation, and contemplative attention to the world, the people, and the reality of value around us.

Arithmetic Of Z-numbers, The: Theory And Applications - Oleg H Huseynov - Bog - World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Arithmetic Of Z-numbers, The: Theory And Applications - Oleg H Huseynov - Bog - World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Real-world information is imperfect and is usually described in natural language (NL). Moreover, this information is often partially reliable and a degree of reliability is also expressed in NL. In view of this, the concept of a Z -number is a more adequate concept for the description of real-world information. The main critical problem that naturally arises in processing Z -numbers-based information is the computation with Z -numbers. Nowadays, there is no arithmetic of Z -numbers suggested in existing literature. This book is the first to present a comprehensive and self-contained theory of Z -arithmetic and its applications. Many of the concepts and techniques described in the book, with carefully worked-out examples, are original and appear in the literature for the first time. The book will be helpful for professionals, academics, managers and graduate students in fuzzy logic, decision sciences, artificial intelligence, mathematical economics, and computational economics.

Probable Justice - Rachel Z Friedman - Bog - The University of Chicago Press - Plusbog.dk

Probable Justice - Rachel Z Friedman - Bog - The University of Chicago Press - Plusbog.dk

Decades into its existence as a foundational aspect of modern political and economic life, the welfare state has become a political cudgel, used to assign blame for ballooning national debt and tout the need for personal responsibility. At the same time, it affects nearly every citizen and permeates daily life--in the form of pension, disability, and unemployment benefits, healthcare and parental leave policies, and more. At the core of that disjunction is the question of how we as a society decide who should get what benefits--and how much we are willing to pay to do so. Probable Justice traces a history of social insurance from the eighteenth century to today, from the earliest ideas of social accountability through the advanced welfare state of collective responsibility and risk. At the heart of Rachel Z. Friedman's investigation is a study of how probability theory allows social insurance systems to flexibly measure risk and distribute coverage. The political genius of social insurance, Friedman shows, is that it allows for various accommodations of needs, risks, financing, and political aims--and thereby promotes security and fairness for citizens of liberal democracies.
