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.
这本书对我来说非常有启发性,斯坦诺维奇在这本书中提出了一个完整的主题,正是我平时考虑问题常常涉及但从未形成完整概念的。即使斯坦诺维奇有意犯把基因拟人化的错误,我也还打算原谅他,可是他得寸进尺,竟然说基因“are happy for the survival machine to fall apart in w...
評分意义并不格外高尚,并非来自高出处;它从下面渗透进来,从最初盲目无意义的算法式过程的发展中逐渐获得了意义和智能。 ——《达尔文的危险观念》 天地不仁,以万物为刍狗。人类偏安于宇宙的一隅,却妄图赋予万物以意义。 斯坦诺维奇说,他脑海中一个反乌托邦式的科学唯物主义场...
評分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...
評分你可以把这本书看作理查·道金斯《自私的基因》的延续。确切地说,是这一段话的展开:“我们具备足够的力量去抗拒我们那些与生俱来的自私基因......我们是作为基因机器而被建造的,是作为觅母机器而被培养的,但我们具备足够的力量去反对我们的缔造者。在这个世界上,只有我们...
