The idea that we might be robots is no longer the stuff of science fiction; decades of research in evolutionary biology and cognitive science have led many esteemed thinkers and scientists to the conclusion that, following the precepts of universal Darwinism, humans are merely the hosts for two replicators (genes and memes) that have no interest in us except as conduits for replication. Accepting and now forcefully responding to this disturbing idea that precludes the possibilities of morality or free will, among other things, Keith Stanovich here provides the tools for the "robot's rebellion," a program of cognitive reform necessary to advance human interests over the limited interest of the replicators. He shows how concepts of rational thinking from cognitive science interact with the logic of evolution to create opportunities for humans to structure their behavior to serve their own ends. These evaluative activities of the brain, he argues, fulfill the need that we have to ascribe significance to human life. Only by recognizing ourselves as robots, argues Stanovich, can we begin to construct a concept of self based on what is truly singular about humans: that they gain control of their lives in a way unique among life forms on Earth - through rational self-determination.
大部分学科在达尔文提出演化论之后都受其影响,演化思想如同万能酸,影响了除数理化之外的所有科学,进化经济学、进化心理学、进化社会学、进化医学。 基因一代代复制下来,我们则是基因的载体、他们暂时居住的生存机器。基因关注他们能否复制,而不关注对载体最优的结果,我们...
评分这本书的标题,实际上译错了。Stanovich绝不是想说人类“叛变”,哪有一个人大声疾呼,号召同胞“叛变”的,实际上是反抗,是要反抗基因(还有meme)的无情统治和利用,是要革命,革基因和meme的命然后人类自己当家作主。但,Stanovich我以为弄错了,这个错了的标题反而表达的...
