图书描述

A thousand years before Isaac Asimov set down his Three Laws of Robotics, real and imagined automata appeared in European courts, liturgies, and literary texts. Medieval robots took such forms as talking statues, mechanical animals, and silent metal guardians; some served to entertain or instruct while others performed disciplinary or surveillance functions. Variously ascribed to artisanal genius, inexplicable cosmic forces, or demonic powers, these marvelous fabrications raised fundamental questions about knowledge, nature, and divine purpose in the Middle Ages.

Medieval Robots recovers the forgotten history of fantastical, aspirational, and terrifying machines that captivated Europe in imagination and reality between the ninth and fourteenth centuries. E. R. Truitt traces the different forms of self-moving or self-sustaining manufactured objects from their earliest appearances in the Latin West through centuries of mechanical and literary invention. Chronicled in romances and song as well as histories and encyclopedias, medieval automata were powerful cultural objects that probed the limits of natural philosophy, illuminated and challenged definitions of life and death, and epitomized the transformative and threatening potential of foreign knowledge and culture. This original and wide-ranging study reveals the convergence of science, technology, and imagination in medieval culture and demonstrates the striking similarities between medieval and modern robotic and cybernetic visions.

如梦如幻！很多年前看到周穆王那个挤眉弄眼的木偶人的故事，我就梦想过有这样一本书。虽然这书很坑，三百页一半都是注释。记录了中世纪最诡异的自动装置，一半科技，一半灵异，现在看来还是觉得精妙神奇。愚人节就写一篇《捉弄活人的古代机器人》好了。

喜欢她讲关于automata“foreignness"的想象和伊斯兰的关系。讲literary/material automata的关联。最后讲mechanical worldview的章节不喜欢

奇妙。标题用的robots但书里全是automata“自动的、模仿自然的人造装置”。拜占庭和伊斯兰世界继承了古希腊和亚历山大学派的机械制造术，9世纪巴格达哈里发送给查理曼一座带有活动人形的水钟，拉丁基督教世界从此开始对automata进行虚实交织的文本记录：异己的地理和自然环境助力下的跨文化奇观；掌握隐秘知识的学者在魔鬼帮助下创造的法宝；城堡和陵墓的守卫；恋人的栩栩如生的机械副本或插满管子的古代英雄的防腐尸体，它们总是在生死真伪，自然和人造的边际上，关乎道德，参杂政治和宗教角力，让人惊奇和焦虑。随着知识和科技进步，西方权贵让艺术家和工匠制造各种automata用于嬉戏或彰显权力。15世纪时它们已化身为点缀钟表的圣经典故，演示天体运行规律，完全脱离了东方影响，展现着宏观宇宙在微观上的精准映射。
