Micro and Macro Philosophy
What role can philosophy play in a world dominated by neoliberalism and globalization? Must it join universalist ideologies as it has in past centuries? Or might it turn to ethnophilosophy and postmodern fragmentation? Universalist cosmopolitanism and egocentric culturalism are not the only alternatives.

The Physics of Emergence (Second Edition)
This book explores whether physics points to a reductive or an emergent structure of the world and proposes a physics-motivated conception of emergence that leaves behind many of the problematic intuitions shaping the philosophical conceptions. It would be suitable for physicists, scientists, undergraduate and postgraduate science students interested in reduction and emergence debates.

Multiplicity
Today, the field of architecture faces a reckoning. While there
is no longer consensus on what defines an architectural work,
theorists, historians, and practitioners are grappling with urgent
issues-among them the impact of climate change, the dynamics of
power and race in relation with the built environment, and the
technological, practical, and ethical dimensions of architecture.
As established practices, academic objectives, and professional
expectations come under scrutiny, architecture is in search of new
definitions, identities, and voices. Inspired by Italo Calvino's
memos about literature in the twenty-first century, this volume-the
second in a series- situates architecture within a broad framework,
exploring its complex interactions with environmental, cultural,
political, social, artistic, and technological forces. The editors'
objective is to spur conversation across the boundaries that divide
architecture's theorists and historians from practitioners. In
addition to the editors, the contributors include Sanford Kwinter,
Aleksandra Jaeschke, Jennifer Mack, Rahul Mehrotra, Charles
Waldheim, Kristi Cheramie, Jesse Reiser, Julian Harake, Jenny E.
Sabin, Charles Davis, Esra Akcan, and David Karmon.

Drift into Failure
This book explores complexity theory and systems thinking to better understand how complex systems drift into failure. It studies sensitive dependence on initial conditions, unruly technology, tipping points, diversity - and finds that failure emerges opportunistically, non-randomly, from the very webs of relationships that breed success and that are supposed to protect organizations from disaster. It develops a vocabulary that allows us to harness complexity and find new ways of managing drift.

The Re-Emergence of Emergence
This volume introduces readers to emergence theory, outlines the major arguments in its defence, and summarizes the most powerful objections against it. It provides the clearest explication yet of this exciting new theory of science, which challenges the reductionist approach by proposing the continuous emergence of novel phenomena.
