Hardback. Etat : New. For humanity to survive there must always be people performing the minute-to-minute miracle of thought. 'Excellent and beyond timely.' A. C. Grayling Scientific advances and new technologies are letting others manipulate our minds more easily than ever before. Now, those tasked with protecting our minds are finally preparing to fight back. As we speak, the United Nations is seeking to pin down a concrete right to free thought and enshrine it in international law alongside life, education and protest. But what is thought? And what makes it free? And how can it best be protected? Freethinking explores what an effective right to freedom of thought would look like, and asks how we might build a culture of free thought, and whether that's even what we want. In an uncertain and rapidly evolving world, Freethinking shows that there are solutions to the forces buffeting our minds. N° de réf. du vendeur 0100990

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. Big Brother is watching usand mind control is, in a real sense, a reality. What are we going to do about it?When one of his articles goes viral, Simon McCarthy-Jones finds himself, at all hours of the day and night, having the thought check Facebook. But was it really his thought? How often do you think of something, only for your computer spookily to feed you just the right ad. Or Google a unique question, only for autocomplete to get there well ahead. In The Battle for Thought, psychologist Simon McCarthy-Jones unpicks the research into how our minds work and how its being used to manipulate us for corporate profit. He investigates what is meant by freedom of thought a human right frequently invoked, but rarely defined.In the face of radically advanced surveillance and mental manipulation, McCarthy-Jones shows that there are solutions: many of the sources of threats to our minds psychology, technology and government can also offer us new ways to protect our freedom of thought. We can structure society to support free thought, finding a way for science and technology, coupled with social and political will and supported by the law, to liberate and enhance our ability to think freely. We face radical new threats to our freedom of thought heres how to retain control Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
