Addresses the "deanthropomorphization" of reality initiated by the
Copernican Revolution and the enduring chasm between the
spontaneous image of reality bequeathed to us by evolution and that
revealed by the sciences in the wake of Copernicus. Ever since
Nicolaus Copernicus unmoored the Earth from its anchorage at the
centre of the Universe and set it hurtling around the Sun, science
has progressively uncovered the lineaments of an objective reality
to which human experience stands as only the most superficial and
attenuated of abstractions. The fifth volume of Collapse brings
together some of the most intellectually-challenging contemporary
work devoted to exploring the philosophical implications of this
ever-widening gulf between the real and the intuitable from a
variety of overlapping and complementary standpoints. With articles
by groundbreaking philosophers and scientists, in-depth interviews
with prominent thinkers, and new work from contemporary artists,
this volume addresses the issues of the "deanthropomorphization" of
reality initiated by the Copernican Revolution and the enduring
chasm between the spontaneous image of reality bequeathed to us by
evolution and that revealed by the sciences in the wake of
Copernicus.
