Artificial Dispositions: Investigating Ethical and Metaphysical Issues ebook

$30.00

We inhabit a world not only full of natural dispositions independent of human design, but also artificial dispositions created by our technological prowess. How do these dispositions, found in automation, computation, and artificial intelligence applications, differ metaphysically from their natural counterparts? This collection investigates artificial dispositions: what they are, the roles they play in artificial systems, and how they impact our understanding of the nature of reality, the structure of minds, and the ethics of emerging technologies. It is divided into four parts covering the following interconnected themes: (i) Artificial and Natural Dispositions, (ii) Artificial Systems and Their Dispositions, (iii) Agency, Mind, and Artificial Dispositions, and (iv) Artificial Moral Dispositions. This is a groundbreaking and thought-provoking resource for any student or scholar of philosophy of science, contemporary metaphysics, applied ethics, philosophy of mind, and philosophy of technology.Artificial Dispositions: Investigating Ethical and Metaphysical Issues 1st Edition is written by William A. Bauer and Anna Marmodoro and published by Bloomsbury Academic. ISBNs for Artificial Dispositions are 9781350336131, 1350336130 and the print ISBNs are 9781350336117, 1350336114.
