This book tells the story of how the "servile arts" turned into the "mechanical arts," which in turn developed into a kind of philosophical apparatus that made modern science possible.
Why did the scientific revolution take place in the West and not in China or the Islamic world? How did humanity's progress in science and technology, which had been moving along at a relatively steady pace for tens of thousands of years, end up taking such an unprecedented leap? Subjecting the history of thought and technology to a novel interpretation based on the relationship between theory and practice, Ahmet Selami Çaliskan argues that the industrial revolution and modern science-and the scientific revolution that preceded both-did not alone suffice to sort out the philosophical problems of their day or to produce the institutions of the modern age. Both required a new sort of human: Homo economicus faber.
Tracing the historical emergence of this figure and its persistence in our own age, this book offers an innovative and holistic assessment of the economic, cultural and political effects of centuries of interaction between East and West and their repercussions in our world today.
Ahmet Selami Çaliskan holds a master's degree in political history and international relations from Marmara University, where he also earned a PhD with his dissertation "The Paradigm and Founder Effect of Practice in Modern Science." He is the CEO of Tekhnelogos Software, an R&D center that conducts artificial intelligence-based projects. He is also the chairman of the board of directors of Istanbul Jazari Museum.
