Confronted by economic, environmental and existential crises, humanity is once again undergoing a profound reappraisal of its place and purpose. This book draws on the ideas of Michel Foucault to trace the evolving relationship between power, knowledge, and governance in the modern era, from the Age of Enlightenment to artificial intelligence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAs it explores the ideas, actors and events that have shaped our world, the volume chronicles the development of four overlapping periods of modern thought: atomistic, mechanistic, organic, and dataistic. Moving through the centuries – from early industrial capitalism to neoliberalism and the emergence of data-driven systems of thought and control – it charts the transformation of human assumptions, aspirations and the art of governance. As we enter into an uncertain future, the book identifies the rise of new technologies that conceive and conduct us in radical new ways. Establishing the parameters of a new episteme, these knowledges reveal new realities and raise the possibility of alternative forms of humanity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAs such, the book will be an invaluable resource for scholars and students of the history of knowledge, social theory and the sociology of modernity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2026-05-02\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783032151254\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-032-15126-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 274\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45228878364812,"sku":"9783032151254","price":125.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783032151254.jpg?v=1779972702","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783032151254","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
