A working outlook

"How the World Really Works meets Bill Hammack in Thinking Like a Human by Dr. David Weitzner; take a fascinating journey through AI: from its origins in history to its influences on our everyday lives and the unethical way it's wielded by big tech; through it all, Weitzner explores how creators everywhere practice "artful intelligence"-and shows us a hopeful vision for the future, in which we think like human beings in the age of AI"--

Progress Unchained

This book is an accessible introduction to philosophical logic's phenomenological approach, elucidating its principles and demonstrating its utility in uncovering the origins and development of logic. The analytical approach to philosophical logic which dominated early discourse posited that logic serves as a universal tool capable of articulating any consistent thought, representative of an era where formalism and rigor were prized as the ultimate pathways to clarity and precision. In recent times, however, the landscape of foundational mathematics has shifted with the emergence of univalent foundations. They, unlike symbolic logic and set theory, embrace the uncountable, infinite diversity of mathematical objects, something that was inconceivable within the confines of logical positivism.The phenomenological approach dispenses with the need for comprehensive logical calculi, focusing instead on smaller, modular units of logic referred to as logemes. The implications of this approach extend beyond historical analysis, holding significant potential for applications in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and more. By offering an expansive arsenal of homotopic tools, the phenomenological approach equips researchers and practitioners with innovative techniques for tackling complex problems in all fields.

Philosophical Logic: A Phenomenological Approach

In this illuminating guide to the criteria of rational theorizing, Michael Shepanski identifies, defends and applies W. V. Quine's epistemic norms - the norms that best explain Quine's decisions to accept some theories and not others. Parts I and II set out the doctrines of this epistemology, demonstrating their potential for philosophical application. Part III is a case study in which Shepanski develops a theory of the propositional attitudes by the method of formalizing inferences to behaviour. He presents critiques of popular alternative views, including foundationalism, the centrality of knowledge and Quine's own epistemological naturalism. By reassessing Quine's normative epistemology, Shepanski advances our understanding of Quine's philosophy whilst providing a guide for our own theorizing.

Undogmatic Empiricism

Quine’s Epistemic Norms in Practice

This open access practical guide to reproductive ethics navigates the complex subject of the policy around IVF treatment and disability screening based on the concerns around the welfare of future children. It focuses on 3 questions in order to examine these often complex philosophical issues:

· Should we allow prospective parents using IVF to implant an embryo with a condition considered to be a disability?
· Is routine screening for Down syndrome in pregnancy ethically acceptable, even if there is evidence that individuals may feel pressure to accept this screening?
· Are we justified in attempting to evaluate the potential parenting ability of those trying to access fertility treatment (e.g. disabled people or individuals with past criminal convictions) and prevent access in some cases?

Rebecca Bennett walks the reader through different answers to these questions, exploring issues such as whether it is ever morally wrong to reproduce, whether we have a moral obligation to try and bring the 'best' children we can into existence and how we can assess the quality of future lives.There is, of course, no consensus about what the 'right' answers are to these questions, however answers are needed.

This area of policy and regulation is one that, Bennett argues, is heavily influenced by intuition, social norms and bias. The Welfare of Future Children invites us to question these norms and to come to a position on these issues that emphasises reason, transparency and accountability.

Biotechne: Interthinking Art, Science and Design

"This book explores the contexts, questions, challenges and opportunities for creative exploration of form, materials, and the body, in space. Presenting 9 original case studies from artwork shaped by the unique physical and psychological conditions of space, and informed by exclusive interviews with artists working in the field, it highlights collaborations between artists, engineers, and theorists that have recontextualized the perception and use of weighted materials and subject positions in art practice"--

Art in Orbit

In this exhilarating and sometimes mind-bending book, renowned scientist and author Paul Davies tells the gripping story of how, beginning with an iconic mathematical equation in the 1920s, a radical new theory of nature - quantum mechanics - burst upon the modern world, and how today we are on the cusp of the second great quantum technology revolution. Quantum 2.0 reveals how exotic states of matter that have no counterpart in the everyday world are being harnessed to enable forms of teleportation and 'spooky' telepathic links between remote places. Powerful new tools such as quantum computers, quantum cryptography and the quantum internet have attracted billions of dollars of investments, triggering a frantic quantum arms race. And appearing on the horizon is the most awesome and game-changing prospect of all - quantum AI. Yet underpinning this dazzling promise lies a paradox. Although quantum mechanics is the most successful scientific theory ever, quantum systems possess properties that defy intuition and shred everyday notions of reality. Albert Einstein could never quite believe it. And decades after Erwin Schrödinger introduced his famous cat paradox, scientists are still divided over how to make sense of the weird quantum realm, one where ghostly quantum particles produce tiny forces in nanotechnology, cause black holes to evaporate - and may even be making the universe expand faster and faster. Indeed, cosmologists believe, the imprint of a quantum process remains etched into the afterglow of the big bang. Quantum 2.0 takes the reader gently from the basic concepts to the cutting edge, inviting us all to peek into the new wonderland of quantum physics and glimpse its stunning implications.

The Past, Present, and Future of Quantum Physics

Quantum 2.0

This book's core argument is that an artificial intelligence that could equal or exceed human intelligence is for mathematical reasons impossible. In supporting their claim, the authors marshal evidence from mathematics, physics, computer science, philosophy, linguistics, biology, and anthropology.

Artificial Intelligence without Fear

Why Machines Will Never Rule the World

Honouring the memory of the late Bernard Stiegler, this edited collection presents a broad spectrum of contributions that provide a complex and coherently articulated image of Stiegler's thought which reached beyond the boundaries of academic, artistic and experimental techno-scientific enclaves where it had been originally received. Stiegler's philosophical work encompassed theorization, social diagnosis, planning, practical and territorial experimentation, politics, and aesthetics. In its wake, the essays in this volume celebrate and explore the wealth of this multi-dimensional legacy. They examine the conditions of human life in general, its foundational intermittence, and carry forward Stiegler's post-phenomenological unfolding of the distinctive spatio-temporalities that weave together the epoch we call 'present'. Engaging closely with Stiegler's original impetus for the creation of technologies of care, as well as of communities of knowledge and artistic practice,

Memories of the Future

Bernard Stiegler

'A fresh take on the age-old questions "Are we alone?" and "Where did we come from?"' American Scientist What is life? This is among the most difficult open problems in science, right up there with the nature of consciousness and the existence of matter. All the definitions we have fall short. Physicist and astrobiologist Sara Imari Walker argues that solving the origin of life requires radical new thinking and an experimentally testable theory for what life is. She proposes a new paradigm for understanding what physics encompasses and what we recognize as life, inviting us into a world of maverick scientists working without a map, seeking not just answers but better ways to formulate the biggest questions we have about the universe. Rigorous, accessible, and vital, Life As No-One Knows It celebrates the mystery of life and the explanatory power of physics. 'With wit and clarity, Walker outlines a radical new approach to bridge the conceptual gap between non-life and life' Paul Davies, author of What's Eating the Universe
