"Il libro cerca di rispondere a questa domanda in sette capitoli. Nel primo e nel secondo si parla del sogno dell'immortalità e della possibilità di raggiungere quei 120 anni di vita inscritti nel genoma umano. Nel terzo capitolo si affronta il tema del miglioramento dell’aspetto fisico e del potenziamento delle capacità mentali, illustrando le possibili conseguenze di queste applicazione su vasta scala. Nel quarto e quinto si illustrano gli scenari della comunicazione globale, i rischi e le possibili contromisure da prendere. Nel sesto e settimo capitolo si accenna agli scenari possibili del post-umano e si analizzano le conseguenze, sul piano morale e teoretico, di ciò che gli autori considerano un atto di delega alla tecnologia. Il libro, con brevi citazioni di autori classici e moderni, ha alcune illustrazioni di opere originali degli artisti Luigi Battisti e Fabrizio Bosco."

"Based on a thorough study of Newton’s extant manuscripts, this monograph will address and contextualize, inter alia, Newton’s causal realism, his views on action at a distance and space and time, the status of efficient causation in the principia, the different phases of his methodology, his treatment of force and the constituents of the physico-mathematical models in the context of book of the principia, the analytic part of the argument for universal gravitation, the meaning and significance of his regulae philosophandi, the methodological differences between his mechanical and optical work, and, finally, the interplay between Newton’s theology and his natural philosophy."

"The essays in this volume concern the points of intersection between analytic philosophy and the philosophy of the exact sciences. More precisely, it concern connections between knowledge in mathematics and the exact sciences, on the one hand, and the conceptual foundations of knowledge in general. Its guiding idea is that, in contemporary philosophy of science, there are profound problems of theoretical interpretation, problems that transcend both the methodological concerns of general philosophy of science, and the technical concerns of philosophers of particular sciences. A fruitful approach to these problems combines the study of scientific detail with the kind of conceptual analysis that is characteristic of the modern analytic tradition."

"This book brings together eminent international philosophers to discuss the inter-dependence of critical communities and aesthetic practices. Their contributions share a hermeneutical commitment to dialogue, both as a model for critique and as a generator of community.Two conclusions emerge. The first is that one’s relationships with others will always be central in determining the social, political, and artistic forms that philosophical self-reflection will take. The second is that our practices of aesthetic judgment are bound up with our efforts as philosophers to adapt ourselves and our objects of interest to the inescapably historical and indeterminate conditions of experience."

"ABSTRAKPenulis akan mendiskusikan kritik dari John Searle dan Hilary Putnam terhadap fungsionalisme komputasional, dan mencoba untuk mempertahankan akuntabilitas fungsionalisme komputasional tentang fitur intensional dari mind di hadapan eksperimen pikiran Chinese Room dan Twin Earth. Kritik Searle dan Putnam sama-sama menyasar akuntabilitas fungsionalisme komputasional tentang fitur intensional dari mind dalam kasus propositional attitude. Penulis akan mengajak para pembaca untuk sampai pada permasalahan mental content, beserta dua nosi konten yang ada didalamnya: narrow content dan wide content. Secara konten, penelitian ini dibagi menjadi dua: mendiskusikan kecukupan sistem komputasional dalam menghasilkan intensionalitas, serta mendiskusikan keabsahan penjelasan holistik-internal terhadap propositional attitude. Dengan perhatian pada input dan output, fungsionalisme komputasional membuka diri atas pembacaan non-individualistik tentang konten yang mana kesebandingan konten bahasa-natural dan computational content dilandaskan pada penyelidikan empiris tentang ketepatan perilaku suatu sistem komputasional dengan lingkungan normalnya. Dalam hal ini, semantik kausal mengindikasikan semantik denotasional.

ABSTRACTThe author will discuss the criticisms of John Searle and Hilary Putnam on computational functionalism, and try to maintain accountability of computational functionalism about the intentional features of mind before the 39 Chinese Room 39 and 39 Twin Earth 39 thought experiments. Searle and Putnam criticisms both target the accountability of computational functionalism about the intentional features of the mind in the case of propositional attitudes. The author will invite readers to arrive at mental content issues, along with two content noses inside narrow content and wide content. By content, this study is divided into two discussing the adequacy of computational systems in generating intentionality, as well as discussing the validity of the holistic internal explanation of the propositional attitudes. With attention to input and output, computational functionalism opens up to non individualistic readings of content in which the compatibility of natural language contents and computational contents are based on empirical investigations of the precise behavior of a computational system with its normal environment. In this case, causal semantics denotes denotational semantics."

"Contradictions is a general interest book that exposes the incompatibility between popular religious beliefs and the scientific view of human nature. It begins with a survey of the evolution of religions and their continuing, often irrational, influences in modern society. Then, based on his long experience in neuroscience, the author takes issue with Decartes about the duality of body and soul. The presents case studies of patients with brain diseases and from these deduces that the soul, far from being separate and supernatural and which correspondingly disintegrates when they do. Convincing clinical findings and powerful arguments about the universality of truth make this book a bold contribution to the debate about belief and religion in the modern world."

"Penggunaan dan perkembangan pesat teknologi informasi digital memunculkan perubahan signifikan di dalamstruktur masyarakat. Luciano Floridi dengan teori re-ontologisasi mengatakan informasi dapat mengubah strukturmasyarakat secara radikal. Re-ontologisasi ini dibentuk dari interaksi antara inforgs dan infosphere. Kemudianteori tersebut menjadi dasar etika yang disebut etika informasi (IE). Etika informasi menekankan idealitas, tanpa adanya entropi di dalam infosphere untuk menjelaskan apa itu `baik`. Dari pemahaman bahwa etika adalah konstruksi idealitas, Floridi menganggap manusia sebagai homo poieticus. Homo poieticus berarti manusia yang memiliki sifat pembentuk dan penjaga. Artikel ini berpendapat sebelum menjadi homo poieticus, manusia haruskembali melihat keterbatasan kapasitas kognitifnya. Terutama di dalam pesat dan masifnya perkembanganinformasi. Melalui etika behavioral, menjelaskan permasalahan kognitif manusia sebagai agen moral terbatas olehrasio dan kebiasaannya. Etika behavioral menggunakan konsep dasar seperti keterbatasan rasionalitas, etikalitasterbatas, dan heuristik di dalamnya. Dengan memahami dan menyadari keterbatasan tersebut, manusia dapatmemaksimalkan penilaian etis. Keterbatasan ini tidak memungkinkan adanya pemahaman holistik dari etikamaupun infosphere. Namun, dari keterbatasan tersebut untuk menjaga infosphere usaha yang dilakukan adalahmemaksimalkan penilaian etis. Dari usaha maksimalisasi ini, menurut penulis homo poieticus dapat menjadi lebihbijak.Usage and progress of digital information technology sparks significant shift in the structure of society. Luciano Floridi with his re-ontologization, explaining information could change the society`s structure in radical way. Reontologization is made by interactions of inforgs and infosphere. The theory become a foundation towards a system of ethics named information ethics (IE). Information ethics emphasises on infosphere state with ideality, without entropy to explain what is `good`. Ethics is a construct ons of ideality of infosphere, the role of human being in Floridi`s sense is to become homo poieticus. Homo poieticus is a demiurgic attitude of the informational and moral agent. This article argues that before becoming homo poieticus, moral agents should take a look back into our own limitations of cognitive capacities. Especially in this abundance and fast growing information condition. Through behavioral ethics, I shall explain the problem of limitations of moral agent. Behavioral ethics using concepts like bounded rationality concept, bounded ethicality, and heuristics to explain it. With understanding and realising the limitations, moral agents could maximising ethical decision making. The limitations shows the impossibilities of holisticunderstanding of ethics nor infosphere. From maximising the limitations, I think homo poieticus could becomemore virtuous or wise demiurgic agent."
