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.
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.
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...

评分自从进入这个工作岗位以来 感觉很久很久没有读书了 也没有写书评了 这都不是我了 很不喜欢这样的感觉 我想要更加自己一些 就像本书的内容一样 我的身体成为了载体 承载着那些原本不属于自己的事物 而真正想要的还不知道在什么时候能够达成 本书主要是想颠覆一下基因与载体 也就...
评分这是一本科普著作,不是科幻小说。 这里的“机器人”其实就是指人类,作者把人类看作“基因的机器”,把生物学的机制,看作是一种机械的、固化的规则,而人就是被这种规则控制的机器。某种程度上,这本著作,可以看作是道金斯的《自私的基因》的后继篇章。 这本书读得比较别扭...

评分切入点太奇怪,想找问题真是找什么都行,有点像另一本讲植物生来就是对抗动物,所以吃蔬菜就是吃毒素的书
