Moreover, it is argued that in our struggle against vulnerability, we create new vulnerabilities and thereby transform ourselves as much as we transform the world. Responding to the discussion about human enhancement and information technologies, the book then shows that this dynamic-relational approach has important implications for the evaluation of new technologies and their risks. It calls for a normative anthropology of vulnerability that does not ask which objective risks are acceptable, how we can become invulnerable, or which technologies threaten human nature, but which vulnerability transformations we want. To the extent that we can steer the growth of new technologies at all, this tragic and sometimes comic project should therefore be guided by what we want to become. 410 0$aPhilosophy of Engineering and Technology,$x1879-7210 ;$v12 606 $aPhenomenology 606 $aTechnology$xPhilosophy 615 0$aPhenomenology. 615 0$aTechnology$xPhilosophy. 676 $a303.48301 676 $a601 700 $aCoeckelbergh$b Mark$0790229 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910438333503321 996 $aHuman Being @ Risk$92503346 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03507nam 22005895 450 001 9910349502303321 005 20200701155656.0 010 $a3-030-16649-X 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-030-16649-6 035 $a(CKB)4100000009046506 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5852427 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-030-16649-6 035 $a(PPN)269145540 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000009046506 100 $a20190817d2019 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 14$aThe Quantum Mechanics Conundrum $eInterpretation and Foundations /$fby Gennaro Auletta 205 $a1st ed. 2019. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer International Publishing :$cImprint: Springer,$d2019. 215 $a1 online resource (879 pages) 311 $a3-030-16648-1 327 $aIntroduction -- Summary of the Basic Elements of the Theory -- The Main Problems -- The Main Interpretations -- Quantum Computation -- Ontological Ascription and Operations -- Information, Signals, Networks -- Quantum Mechanics, Fields, and Geometry -- Category Theory and Quantum Mechanics. 330 $aThis comprehensive volume gives a balanced and systematic treatment of both the interpretation and the mathematical-conceptual foundations of quantum mechanics. It is written in a pedagogical style and addresses many thorny problems of fundamental physics. The first aspect concerns Interpretation. The author raises the central problems: formalism, measurement, non-locality, and causality. The main positions on these subjects are presented and critically analysed. The aim is to show that the main schools can converge on a core interpretation. The second aspect concerns Foundations. Here it is shown that the whole theory can be grounded on information theory. The distinction between information and signal leads us to integrating quantum mechanics and relativity. Category theory is presented and its significance for quantum information shown; the logic and epistemological bases of the theory are assessed. Of relevance to all physicists and philosophers with an interest in quantum theory and its foundations, this book is destined to become a classic work. 606 $aQuantum theory 606 $aPhysics 606 $aPhilosophy and science 606 $aQuantum computers 606 $aSpintronics 606 $aQuantum Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19080 606 $aHistory and Philosophical Foundations of Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P29000 606 $aPhilosophy of Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E34000 606 $aQuantum Information Technology, Spintronics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31070 615 0$aQuantum theory. 615 0$aPhysics. 615 0$aPhilosophy and science. 615 0$aQuantum computers. 615 0$aSpintronics. 615 14$aQuantum Physics. 615 24$aHistory and Philosophical Foundations of Physics. 615 24$aPhilosophy of Science. 615 24$aQuantum Information Technology, Spintronics. 676 $a530.12 676 $a530.12 700 $aAuletta$b Gennaro$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$066851 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910349502303321 996 $aThe Quantum Mechanics Conundrum$92518967 997 $aUNINA
