    [NT 51398] Summary: Why does contemporary calculation proceed as calculation of the quality of everything, to the extent that quality comes to be perceived as a controversial keyword, endowed with enigmatic power? How should we consider calculation of quality? And how, from the perspective of quality, can we renew questioning the very nature of the calculative? In considering calculation and quality, how can we reflect on the relationship between calculation and enhancement of life? What does it mean that, precisely under the banner of quality, life comes to be represented as a total of dimensions and moments to be calculated, with a view to the total quality of life itself? How should we address the relationship between quality of life and the phenomenon of post-human development? These are some of the main questions which the book addresses through a phenomenological investigation and an analysis of the social science debate.
