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.
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...

評分唯我论的残影 ——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...
