Scale Theory
A Nondisciplinary Inquiry
Book • 2021
In 'Scale Theory', Joshua DiCaglio presents a nondisciplinary approach to understanding scale, which challenges traditional nonscalar interpretations.
The book uses six thought experiments to clarify and redefine scale, discussing how it transforms objects, subjects, and relations.
It integrates various disciplines from nanoscience to ecology and humanities, including philosophy and rhetoric.
DiCaglio examines the transformative power of scale, its cognitive dimensions, and its implications on our worldview, also exploring the connection between scale and mysticism.
The book addresses the complexities of scale in communication, rhetoric, and representation, drawing on both Western and non-Western concepts.
