With the unusual clarity, distinctive and engaging style, and penetrating insight that have drawn such a wide range of readers to his work, Ian Hacking here offers his reflections on the philosophical uses of history. The focus of this volume, which collects both recent and now-classic essays, is the historical emergence of concepts and objects, through new uses of words and sentences in specific settings, and new patterns or styles of reasoning within those sentences. In its lucid and thoroughgoing look at the historical dimension of concepts, the book is at once a systematic formulation of Hacking's approach and its relation to other types of intellectual history, and a valuable contribution to philosophical understanding. Hacking opens the volume with an extended meditation on the philosophical significance of history. The importance of Michel Foucault--for the development of this theme, and for Hacking's own work in intellectual history--emerges in the following chapters, which place Hacking's classic essays on Foucault within the wider context of general reflections on historical methodology. Against this background, Hacking then develops ideas about how language, styles of reasoning, and psychological phenomena figure in the articulation of concepts--and in the very prospect of doing philosophy as historical ontology.

A football team cannot lose momentum. The Hitchhiker's Guide to Python takes the journeyman Pythonista to true expertise.

Six-time Hugo-Award winner Ben Bova presents "Farside," part of The Grand Tour series. Farside, the side of the Moon that never faces Earth, is the ideal location for an astronomical observatory.

Now the race is on to get pictures of that distant world, photographs and spectra that will show whether or not the planet is truly like Earth, and if it bears life.Farside will include the largest optical telescope in the solar system as well as a vast array of radio antennas, the most sensitive radio telescope possible, insulated from the interference of Earth's radio chatter by a thousand kilometers of the Moon's solid body.Building the Farside observatory is a complex, often dangerous task. On the airless Historical Ontology free pdf surface of the Moon, under constant bombardment of hard radiation and infalling micrometeoroids, builders must work in cumbersome spacesuits and use robotic machines as much as possible. Breakdowns mechanical and emotional are commonplace. Accidents happen, some of them fatal.What they find stuns everyone, and the human race will never be the same."Bova's latest novel is one of his best, and a classic use of the old sf theme of humanity reaching out for immortality among the stars."
