505 2  I. Past and present -- from the "system of the world" to a
       world full of systems -- II. Mediating knowledge -- system
       and the fate of enlightenment -- III. Connectivities -- 
       system and the instituting of modernity. 
520 3  "A system can describe what we see (the solar system), 
       operate a computer (Windows 10), or be made on a page (the
       fourteen engineered lines of a sonnet). In this book, 
       Clifford Siskin shows that system is best understood as a 
       genre -- a form that works physically in the world to 
       mediate our efforts to understand it. Indeed, many 
       Enlightenment authors published works they called "system"
       to compete with the essay and the treatise. Drawing on the
       history of system from Galileo's "message from the stars" 
       and Newton's "system of the world" to today's 
       "computational universe," Siskin illuminates the role that
       the genre of system has played in the shaping and 
       reshaping of modern knowledge. Previous engagements with 
       systems have involved making them, using them, or 
       imagining better ones. Siskin offers an innovative 
       perspective by investigating system itself. He considers 
       the past and present, moving from the "system of the 
       world" to "a world full of systems." He traces the turn t 
       system in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and 
       describes this primary form of Enlightenment as a mediator
       of political, cultural, and social modernity -- pointing 
       to the moment when people began to "blame the system" for 
       working both too well ("you can't beat the system") and 
       not well enough (it always seems to "break down"). 
       Throughout, his touchstones are: what system is and how it
       has changed; how it has mediated knowledge; and how it has
       worked in the world." 
520    The role that ""system"" has played in the shaping and 
       reshaping of modern knowledge, from Galileo and Newton to 
       our own ""computational universe.""
