Keith E. Stanovich is Emeritus Professor of Applied Psychology and Human Development at the University of Toronto and former Canada Research Chair of Applied Cognitive Science. He is the author of over 200 scientific articles and seven books. He received his BA degree in psychology from Ohio State University in 1973 and his PhD in psychology from the University of Michigan in 1977.
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.
唯我论的残影 ——读《机器人叛乱:在达尔文时代找到意义》 文=空语因明 基本上,该书是用认知科学语言包装的老调重弹。它所关注的仍然是现代哲学的核心问题:确定自我的价值。围绕这个问题,现代哲学的立场展开了吊诡的争端和反争端。其中或许具有本质意义的争端是,“机械论...
評分书刚看完一遍。在想要不要赶紧做个笔记,读完这本书太不容易了,或者等以后空了再翻一遍回味下,然后再做笔记。不过以我的经验,后者实现的可能性很小,因为好书真的是源源不断,好书的笔记都没做,还会去理会旧书?还是读完就做笔记最好,当即回看梳理,不要指望以后。...
評分好多年前,开复的「Follow your heart」是句很迷人的话,在年轻人心中种下了一颗种子,在很多场合都会有人以「追随你的直觉」、「做你想做的」进行友好的忠告。后来开复的这些言论受到了持续的质疑,觉得这些言论在逻辑上如此漏洞百出。客观地讲,开复是个非常优秀的人,在行业...
評分这本书的标题,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...
評分写的乱是因为脑子乱。 Anyway 我还在石器时代啊! === === 我们是公交车,老司机是一对好搭档: gene & meme. 老司机达到目的地就好,车子报废就随手丢掉。或者说,为了更好更安全地进行下一段旅程,总是强制报废老破车。 你的种种爱恨情仇,你以为是你的想法,你的选择。...
