  Conversations for skeptics
  
  How real is reality? Are our images of the world mere inventions or do they correspond to an external reality? Is it possible to know the truth?
  
  These are some of the questions that are discussed in this book by physicist and philosopher Heinz von Foerster and media studies scholar Bernhard Poerksen. Together they explore the limits of our cognitive capacities; they debate the apparent objectivity of our sensual perception and the consequences of "truth terrorism"; and they talk about the relationship between knowledge and ethics, sight and insight.
  The authors:
  Heinz von Foerster (1911–2002) completed his studies of physics in Vienna and worked at different research labs before emigrating to the United States in 1949. In 1957, at the University of Illinois, he established the Biological Computer Lab (BCL) – the cradle of the epistemology that would later cause a stir under the label of "constructivism." The focus was on analyzing the logical and methodological problems that in evitably arise when one seeks to know knowledge. He is the author of numerous books, including Understanding Understanding: Essays on Cybernetics and Cognition.
  Bernhard Poerksen is professor of media studies at the University of Tübingen with a particular research interest in the new media age. His books about systemic thinking have been translated into many languages. In 2008 he was voted "Professor of the Year" in honor of his teaching. His most recent book publications in English include From Being to Doing: The Origins of the Biology of Cognition (with Humberto Maturana), The Unleashed Scandal: The End of Control in the Digital Age (with Hanne Detel), and Digital Fever: Taming the Big Business of Disinformation.

  The James Webb Space Telescope or JWST was launched on Christmas in 2021 to provide the most sensitive telescopic views of the Universe.It has already revolutionized our real world views of the early Universe and these observations question our current theories of the creation of the Universe.This book gets into the history of the JWST, the instruments it carries, new observations, and ideas of what these anomalies mean.We review some of the most important observations made to date, and finally, some theories of how to explain these incredible views of the early reality of the Universe.There are also some other anomalies in Space which are mentioned which were known before the JWST existed which also question the current Big Bang paradigm.We are living in a revolutionary period of Astronomy much like the questions which occurred to Astronomers and Physicists in the early 20th Century which led to the theories we have today on Universe creation.I’m sure that new paradigms will be the result of the current confusion which will contribute to new theories and better understandings of the world we live in.

  Peter Singer - Ethics in the...

  Peter Singer is one of the most influential philosophers in contemporary ethics, known for his contributions to utilitarianism, animal rights, global poverty, bioethics, and environmental ethics. His ethical philosophy is grounded in the principle of utilitarianism, which holds that the right course of action is the one that produces the greatest overall happiness or well-being. Singer’s work is characterized by a practical, results-oriented approach, focusing on how ethical principles can be applied to real-world issues to alleviate suffering and promote well-being. His influential works, such as Animal Liberation and The Life You Can Save, challenge readers to consider the moral implications of their actions in a variety of contexts, from how they treat animals to how they engage with global poverty. 
  At the core of Singer’s ethical framework is the idea that all sentient beings, regardless of their species, deserve equal consideration. This principle of equal consideration of interests leads to his advocacy for the rights of animals, arguing that their capacity to suffer should give them moral consideration equal to that of humans. Singer’s call for animal liberation challenges the traditional view of animals as resources for human consumption and urges society to rethink its treatment of non-human creatures. 
  In addition to his work in animal ethics, Singer has profoundly impacted discussions on global poverty and humanitarian aid. Through his concept of effective altruism, he argues that individuals in affluent societies have a moral obligation to help those in extreme poverty. Using the famous “drowning child” analogy, Singer demonstrates that if we are morally obligated to save a child from drowning in a shallow pond, we should equally be compelled to help those suffering from poverty and preventable diseases, no matter the physical distance.
