Temporal Regimes Materiality Politics Technology

Temporal Regimes Materiality Politics Technology

Temporal Regimes provides a theoretical framework for understanding the temporal structures of society; a conceptually rich empirically nuanced and culturally embodied account of temporal phenomena in contemporary world. What does it imply temporal regimes? How the everyday life as well as the global mobilities coordination requires temporal underpinnings? The answers to these questions mean more than simply understanding the general thesis on acceleration or space-time compression on the one hand; but also a micro-multiple-localised time experience by gender class or age on the other. They also mean understanding in an integrative way the very structural temporalities within the everyday lived embodied and situated ones. They require both a robust and flexible epistemic analysis considering their material bedrock through political and technological forefront dimensions. Advancing a rigorous well-grounded theoretical understanding and offering a useful way to analytically conceptualise the temporal dynamics on our societies this book will be of interest to advanced students and scholars enquiring a rich set of topics ranging from time and politics new materialism conceptual history as well as technology collective action and social change. | Temporal Regimes Materiality Politics Technology

Explanatory Optimism about the Hard Problem of Consciousness

Explanatory Optimism about the Hard Problem of Consciousness

Explanatory Optimism about the Hard Problem of Consciousness argues that despite the worries of explanatory pessimists consciousness can be fully explained in “easy” scientific terms. The widespread intuition that consciousness poses a hard problem is plausibly based on how consciousness appears to us in first-person access. The book offers a debunking argument to undercut the justificatory link between the first-person appearances and our hard problem intuitions. The key step in the debunking argument involves the development and defense of an empirical model of first-person access: Automated Compression Theory (ACT). ACT holds that first-person access to consciousness is accomplished by automated accessing of compressed sensory information. Because of the distorting nature of this compressed access it seems to subjects that consciousness possesses “exceptional” properties—properties leading to the hard problem—even though no such properties are present. If there are no exceptional properties to explain then an explanation in easy terms can fully account for conscious experience. The book presents a range of empirical evidence for ACT and concludes that the burden of proof is now on the pessimists to show why we shouldn’t be optimistic about explaining consciousness.
