Download or read book Social Robots written by Marco Nørskov and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social robotics is a cutting edge research area gathering researchers and stakeholders from various disciplines and organizations. The transformational potential that these machines, in the form of, for example, caregiving, entertainment or partner robots, pose to our societies and to us as individuals seems to be limited by our technical limitations and phantasy alone. This collection contributes to the field of social robotics by exploring its boundaries from a philosophically informed standpoint. It constructively outlines central potentials and challenges and thereby also provides a stable fundament for further research of empirical, qualitative or methodological nature.

Book excerpt: Warum werden lebende Organismen, insbesondere der Mensch, als lebendige Maschinen verstanden? Warum hat der Mensch das Bedürfnis, sich selbst als Maschine nachzubauen? Das 18. Jahrhundert stand u.a. mit La Mettries Werk L'homme machine (1747) und den »lebendigen« Automaten eines Vaucansons im Zeichen verschiedener »Maschinentheorien des Lebendigen«. Um bis in die Gegenwart anhaltende Tradierungen und Wandlungen des damals fundierten Mensch-Maschinen-Konstrukts erfahrbar zu machen, rückt der Mensch als Forschungsobjekt der KI und der Robotik ins Blickfeld. Es steht zu beantworten, inwieweit die Rede vom Maschinenmenschen und der Bau künstlicher Maschinen dazu verhelfen, Wissen über den Menschen zu erlangen.
Download or read book Das Prinzip Aufkl rung zwischen Universalismus und partikularem Anspruch written by Kristina-Monika Hinneburg and published by Brill Fink. This book was released on 2014 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Der Begriff »Aufklärung« steht für eine Wertekonfiguration, die - universelle Gültigkeit beanspruchend - Freiheit und Gleichheit zum Allgemeingut erklärt. Eine Analyse historischer »aufklärerischer« Prozesse verdeutlicht jedoch, dass diese keineswegs das Versprechen von individueller und kollektiver Emanzipation für alle gesellschaftlichen Subjekte gleichermaßen einlösen. Anhand zahlreicher Beispiele lässt sich zeigen, wie die als allgemeingültig postulierten aufklärerischen Werte mit partikularen Interessen religiöser, ethnischer und geschlechtlicher Minderheiten in Konflikt geraten können. Neben theoretischen Fragestellungen zu diesem Themenkomplex erörtern die im Band versammelten Beiträge Fallbeispiele aus dem Zeitraum vom 18. Jahrhundert bis in die Gegenwart.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eighteen scholars from both sides of the Atlantic look at the question of work across three centuries of French history. Representing both younger and older generations, they move beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries in order to consider human labor as it was actually performed and to determine what it has meant to specific groups and individuals at particular historical moments. This book proposes some fundamental revisions in the history of work which will have important implications for our understanding of social, political, economic, and cultural developments not only in France but throughout Europe.

Download or read book Monstrous Imaginaries written by Maaheen Ahmed and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2019-11-29 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Monsters seem inevitably linked to humans and not always as mere opposites. Maaheen Ahmed examines good monsters in comics to show how Romantic themes from the eighteenth and the nineteenth centuries persist in today’s popular culture. Comics monsters, questioning the distinction between human and monster, self and other, are valuable conduits of Romantic inclinations. Engaging with Romanticism and the many monsters created by Romantic writers and artists such as Mary Shelley, Victor Hugo, and Goya, Ahmed maps the heritage, functions, and effects of monsters in contemporary comics and graphic novels. She highlights the persistence of recurrent Romantic features through monstrous protagonists in English- and French-language comics and draws out their implications. Aspects covered include the dark Romantic predilection for ruins and the sordid, the solitary protagonist and his quest, nostalgia, the prominence of the spectacle as well as excessive emotions, and above all, the monster’s ambiguity and rebelliousness. Ahmed highlights each Romantic theme through close readings of well-known but often overlooked comics, including Enki Bilal's Monstre tetralogy, Jim O'Barr's The Crow, and Emil Ferris’s My Favorite Thing Is Monsters, as well as the iconic comics series Alan Moore's Swamp Thing and Mike Mignola's Hellboy. In blurring the otherness of the monster, these protagonists retain the exaggeration and uncontrollability of all monsters while incorporating Romantic characteristics.

Download or read book Echoes of Aquinas in Cusanus s Vision of Man written by Markus Führer and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2014-02-19 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Echoes of Aquinas in Cusanus’s Vision of Man demonstrates the influence that the philosophical and theological anthropology of Saint Thomas Aquinas had on Nicholas of Cusa’s (Cusanus) view of human nature. Markus Führer demonstrates that Cusanus's view of the place of man in the universe is remarkably similar to the view of Aquinas. Führer thereby challenges the prevailing opinion that Cusanus was a Renaissance philosopher dedicated to the philosophy of man and that he was one of the founders of Renaissance humanism. A close examination of the texts of both Aquinas and Cusanus, when compared to some of the leading Renaissance writers, indicates that it is not entirely true that Cusanus was Renaissance in his analysis of the human condition. Because Cusanus’s copies of some of the works of Aquinas are still intact and his marginal comments in these manuscripts indicate not only that he read Aquinas carefully, but also actually reacted to texts in Aquinas, it is possible to conduct a study of Cusanus’s use of Aquinas based directly on the text of Aquinas. Führer also explores similarities by studying the formulae that both writers used in expressing their respective positions. This book, with its unique examination of the impact of Aquinas’s thought upon Cusanus, will appeal to students and scholars of late medieval theology and philosophy.
