What if privacy were a ruse and all the concern for it under the auspices of "big data" were really a tactic to shore up the power of artificial persons striving to obtain greater control over human life? By embedding human practices into a basic pattern of operation called the 'telemetric', Roth shows that the drive toward a machinic understanding of remote behavior for the sake of orchestrating it in the service of ends only partially visible to the agents in its grasp underlies all concern for the ‘private’ and the protection of a private sphere. Following upon the phenomenological tradition from Hegel to Habermas, Telemetry Phenomenology Commonwealth demonstrates an emergent set of cognitive and socio-political orders that encompass a colonization of the human lifeworld’s modern digital rationalization run amok in the practices of large corporations and government organizations. The crisis places the very nature of human being at risk and the only mitigation is to renew our love of wisdom and pursuit of understanding while downplaying our emphasis on speculative knowledge as disinterested and remote measurement.

The Poetics of Resistance: Heidegger's Line is a well-informed, carefully written, and detailed treatment of the political implications of Heidegger's philosophy in its Derridean acceptation. It argues that what Heidegger calls poetic dwelling--an element of Heidegger's later thinking often ignored by his more vehement critics--is at once disruptive (of the smooth functioning of technology) and community-founding. To engage in such thoughtful, poetic dwelling is to "cross the line." Roth argues, with Derrida against Heidegger, that crossing this line is not a move into irrationalism (to say nothing of National Socialism); and he argues, with Heidegger against Derrida, that crossing the line, successful resistance, is possible. Grounded in the classics of German scholarship but reaching out to its creative appropriation in postmodernism, The Poetics of Resistance makes an important and timely contribution to the recuperation of a political philosophy from postmodernity.

This is a Calculus text with a difference. The focus is on concepts and on problems and approaches to solving them, rather than on the techniques and methods of Calculus. The subject matter is that of introductory, single-variable Calculus, but with a heavy emphasis on intuitive inferences from graphing, and includes a chapter on probability. This is a groundbreaking text in the Calculus Reform movement.

The Poetics of Resistance: Heidegger's Line

The Indefinite Article: Anxiety and the Essence of Artificial Intelligence focuses on the implications of technological surveillance for human being and ethics. It shows that human privacy is fragile and susceptible to coercion by both visible and invisible social forces realized by any artificial intelligence that formalizes and universalizes human behavioral characteristics in order to construct personalities. These patterns cannot be resisted with traditional notions of individual liberty and respect for human dignity. The way through lies in the same anxious questioning that drives publicly oriented persons to welcome boundaries that are inscribed upon them as identities under conditions of mass surveillance. The invasion of private life by data collection mechanisms forces the socially constructed subject to imagine itself alone under a microscope. Roth carefully demonstrates how this dystopia can be inverted through a critical inquiry that glares back at the lenses of that power.
