| "Science and Religion - an Impossible Dialogue" |
| "Today we hear renewed calls for a dialogue between science and religion why has the old question of the relations between science and religion now returned to the public domain and what is at stake in this debate? To answer these questions historian and sociologist of science Yves Gingras retraces the long history of the troubled relationship between science and religion from the condemnation of Galileo for heresy in 1633 until his rehabilitation by John Paul II in 1992 He reconstructs the process of the gradual separation of science from theology and religion showing how God and natural theology became marginalized in the scientific field in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries In contrast to the dominant trend among historians of science Gingras argues that science and religion are social institutions that give rise to incompatible ways of knowing rooted in different methodologies and forms of knowledge and that there never was and cannot be a genuine dialogue between them Wide-ranging and authoritative this new book on one of the fundamental questions of Western thought will be of great interest to students and scholars of the history of science and of religion as well as to general readers who are intrigued by the new and much-publicized conversations about the alleged links between science and religion"

| "The Digital Condition" |
| "Our daily lives our culture and our politics are now shaped by the digital condition as large numbers of people involve themselves in contentious negotiations of meaning in ever more dimensions of life from the trivial to the profound They are making use of the capacities of complex communication infrastructures currently dominated by social mass media such as Twitter and Facebook on which they have come to depend Amidst a confusing plurality Felix Stalder argues that are three key constituents of this condition the use of existing cultural materials for one's own production the way in which new meaning is established as a collective endeavour and the underlying role of algorithms and automated decision-making processes that reduce and give shape to massive volumes of data These three characteristics define what Stalder calls 'the digital condition' Stalder also examines the profound political implications of this new culture We stand at a crossroads between post-democracy and the commons a concentration of power among the few or a genuine widening of participation with the digital condition offering the potential for starkly different outcomes This ambitious and wide-ranging theory of our contemporary digital condition will be of great interest to students and scholars in media and communications cultural studies and social political and cultural theory as well as to a wider readership interested in the ways in which culture and politics are changing today"
