人臉辨識、數位威權、同溫層效應{\textellipsis}{\textellipsis}
科技是中立的嗎?
科技真的能帶來更好的未來嗎?
人工智慧將走向何方,只取決於我們如何利用嗎?

自由、平等、正義、民主、種族議題與氣候變遷--這些對人類生活至關重要的諸多議題與概念,與人工智慧有何關聯?

卡夫卡的《審判》、歐威爾的《一九八四》裡頭所描繪的社會狀態,或許將不再只是文學寓言。AI的發展及其帶來的技術革命,甚至已經超越了二十年前的網際網路,它能夠與人交談、能夠學習甚至創作,它看似能夠大幅改善人類的生活,但也將顛覆我們所熟知的各種價值{\textellipsis}{\textellipsis}

AI不只是一種科技,更是一種政治。它能夠存取龐大的資料,從中進行應用與學習,卻也能從這些數據中進行預測、操控與管制。AI具有「權力」,僅以倫理學角度看待AI已經不合時宜,我們必須正視它為人類社會帶來的挑戰,無論是技術層面的運用,例如執法手段的變革對公民自由形成的威脅,或是潛在的影響,例如大數據對人類行為(勞動、消費、金融)的形塑與規訓。它有可能危害民主、加速社會的透明化、加劇當前的分配不平等、形塑人們的自我認同;甚至,我們不得不超前思考AI在未來形成一種政治社群的可能。

本書大膽嘗試理論跨界,以古典理論回應當代議題,同時提出政治哲學所關懷的重要議題及概念,必須將科技發展納入視野,且必然隨著科技的發展而改變。無論是人文學術界、技術工程界、產業界或是政策制定者,都不可不知與AI相關的規範性理論,及本書所提供的理論框架。本書適合所有關注AI技術的讀者,及所有關心總體趨勢的讀者。

「人工智慧在根本上是一個政治的領域,這本書闡明了其中的原因。本書涵蓋了關於不平等、民主、權力和後人類主義的爭論,並顯示了社會和政治理論對於理解人工智慧的重要性。」
凱特.克勞馥,《人工智慧最後的秘密》(Atlas of AI: Power, Politics, and the Planetary Costs of Artificial Intelligence)作者

「與人工智慧相關的倫理學與政治哲學這兩個領域,聚焦在許多相同的問題上,但很難看到後者的豐富歷史被用來理解人工智慧的政治。科克爾柏格在這本重要的著作,給出了一個值得注目的例外。」
Henrik Skaug S{\ae}tra,奧斯陸大學資訊學系助理教授

「科克爾柏格的真正重點在於,他展示了數千年的哲學思想不會因為數字工程的成就而變得過時。」
Scott McLemee,《高等教育》(Inside Higher Ed)

人工智慧一詞在一九五五年被創造出來時,人類持續尋求增強大腦的方法已有數千年了。

從中世紀機器人到人造神經網路,本書重點介紹了從西元前一千三百年到二o一八年間,人工智慧發展史上新奇和重要的實際觀念。

按時間順序排列,獲獎作家柯利弗德-皮寇弗的書寫範圍遠從一千多年前遠古時代的遊戲發明開始,巧妙地集合了科技與文化上的劃時代成就,從神話故事、虛構作品(蘭斯洛特的銅騎士、《魔鬼終結者》)到現實世界的創造(達文西的機械武士、掃地機器人),從遊戲(井字棋、西洋雙陸棋、魔術方塊、《危險邊緣》益智問答節目)到更認真的研究(臉部和語音辨識、自主式機器人手術),還有許多大家耳熟能詳的名字,如亞里斯多德、特斯拉、ENIAC、Hal 9000{\textellipsis}{\textellipsis}

不論是早期的自動機械,還是人工智慧程式失控對人類造成的威脅,針對人工智慧這個現今最熱門、最引人注目的科學議題,本書不僅討論科學和技術,也關注道德議題,圖文並茂地闡述了我們如何打造這種壯大自己、甚而超越人類的智慧形式。

"It is important for the materialist historian, in the most rigorous way possible, to differentiate the construction of a historical state of affairs from what one customarily calls its "reconstruction." The "reconstruction" in empathy is one- dimensional. "Construction" presupposes "destruction." Almost fourteen years after the death of Jacques Derrida, the least one can say is that his inheritance is as contested and fraught with rivalries, rejections, and appropriations as at the time of the flowering of Deconstruction in American universities in the seventies and eighties. A halt was observed in 1988-89 after the posthumous revelations about Paul de Man{\textquoteright}s past in Belgium and Derrida{\textquoteright}s embattled defense of his friend. Today, in France, one often hears that "Derrida a fait l{\textquoteright}Ecole mais n{\textquoteright}a pas fait ecole," meaning that Derrida passed the entrance examination of the prestigious Ecole Normale Superieure where he taught for a long time, where he met Paul Celan, Louis Althusser, Michel Foucault and many other luminaries, whereas he never had a real "school" in France-no real institutional backing beyond the various Parisian places at which he taught later, or those that he founded like the College de Philosophie; his following constituted of young philosophers, only a few of whom became university professors in their turn and disseminated his teachings. However, the mechanisms of power within the French university remained closed to Derrida until the end; besides, he wanted to prevent the stereotyped reproduction currently observed from master to disciple"

This volume begins with a new essay by Julia Kristeva, {\textquoteright}The Adolescent Novel{\textquoteright}, in which she examines the relation between novelistic writing and the experience of adolescence as an {\textquoteright}open structure{\textquoteright}. It is this blend of the literary with the psychoanalytic that places Kristeva{\textquoteright}s work central to current thinking, from semiotics and critical theory to feminism and psychoanalysis.

The essays in this volume offer insight into the workings of Kristeva{\textquoteright}s thought, ranging from her analyses of sexual difference, female temporality and the perceptions of the body to the mental states of abjection and melancholia, and their representation in painting and literature.

Kristeva{\textquoteright}s persistent humanity, her profound understanding of the dynamics of intention and creativity, mark her out as one of the leading theoreticians of desire. Each essay offers the reader a new insight into the many aspects that make up Kristeva{\textquoteright}s entire oeuvre.

This is the first English translation of Jacques Ranciere{\textquoteright}s first book, in which he explores and begins to move beyond the thought of his mentor, Louis Althusser. "Althusser{\textquoteright}s Lesson" represents the foundations of Jacques Ranciere{\textquoteright}s theoretical project. It marks the moment at which he emerges from the tutelage of his mentor, Louis Althusser, and begins to outline the themes he will go on to develop in his later writings. Here Ranciere is already working out a non-economic and non-Marxist understanding of politics. The events of May 1968 confronted Althusser{\textquoteright}s version of a Marxism of order with one of subversion that in one fell swoop rendered Althusser{\textquoteright}s thought outdated. Yet, when Althusser finally broke his silence on this issue, with the publication in 1973 of "A Response to John Lewis", he appeared simply to return to the ideas he had espoused and defended before 1968. "Althusser{\textquoteright}s Lesson" is, in Ranciere{\textquoteright}s own words, {\textquoteright}intended to be a commentary on a lesson: the lesson in Marxism that Louis Althusser gave John Lewis. It is intended as a reflection on what this lesson wants to teach us and what it in fact teaches us, not about Marxist theory itself, but about the present reality of Marxism{\textquoteright}.

An "introduction to the nonfascist life" (Michel Foucault, from the Preface) When it first appeared in France, Anti-Oedipus was hailed as a masterpiece by some and "a work of heretical madness" by others. In it, Gilles Deleuze and F{\'e}lix Guattari set forth the following theory: Western society{\textquoteright}s innate herd instinct has allowed the government, the media, and even the principles of economics to take advantage of each person{\textquoteright}s unwillingness to be cut off from the group. What{\textquoteright}s more, those who suffer from mental disorders may not be insane, but could be individuals in the purest sense, because they are by nature isolated from society.

This title is a concise and accessible introduction to this key theorist.Alain Badiou is undoubtedly the most exciting and influential voice in contemporary French philosophy and one of the most important theorists at work today. His impact on continental philosophy and the wider philosophy community, politics and the arts in the last twenty years has been immense."Alain Badiou: Live Theory" offers a concise and accessible introduction to his work and thought, laying out the central themes of his major works, including his magnum opus, "Being and Event", and its long-awaited sequel, "Logics of Worlds". Oliver Feltham explores the fundamental questions through which Badiou{\textquoteright}s philosophy constantly evolves, identifies the key turning points in his ideas, and makes a clear case for the coherence and powerful singularity of his thought when employed in the analysis of political and artistic situations. Feltham examines the thinkers and theorists with whom Badiou has engaged and who have engaged with him, arguing that Badiou{\textquoteright}s work is exciting precisely because it opens up new genealogies and new polemics in the intellectual landscape.

The book includes a brand new interview with Badiou, in which he discusses his current concerns and future plans.This is the ideal companion to study for students and readers encountering this fascinating thinker for the first time.

Perhaps the most important aesthetics of the twentieth century appears here newly translated, in English that is for the first time faithful to the intricately demanding language of the original German. The culmination of a lifetime of aesthetic investigation, Aesthetic Theory is Theodor W. Adorno{\textquoteright}s magnum opus, the clarifying lens through which the whole of his work is best viewed, providing a framework within which his other major writings cohere.

Aristotle (384 - 322 B.C.) taught logic to Alexander the Great and, by virtue of his philosophical works, to every philosopher since, from Marcus Aurelius, to Thomas Aquinas, to Mortimer J. Adler. Now Adler instructs the world in the uncommon common sense of Aristotelian logic, presenting Aristotle{\textquoteright}s understandings in a current, delightfully lucid way. He brings Aristotle{\textquoteright}s work to an everyday level. By encouraging readers to think philosophically, Adler offers us a unique path to personal insights and understanding of intangibles, such as the difference between wants and needs, the proper way to pursue happiness, and the right plan for a good life.

Modern philosophy of science has paid great attention to the understanding of scientific {\textquoteright}practice{\textquoteright}, in contrast to concentration on scientific {\textquoteright}method{\textquoteright}. Paul Feyerabend{\textquoteright}s acclaimed work, which has contributed greatly to this new emphasis, shows the deficiencies of some widespread ideas about the nature of knowledge. He argues that the only feasible explanations of scientific successes are historical explanations, and that anarchism must now replace rationalism in the theory of knowledge. The third edition of this classic text contains a new preface and additional reflections at various points in which the author takes account both of recent debates on science and on the impact of scientific products and practices on the human community. While disavowing populism or relativism, Feyerabend continues to insist that the voice of the inexpert must be heard. Thus many environmental perils were first identified by non-experts against prevailing assumptions in the scientific community. Feyerabend{\textquoteright}s challenging reassessment of scientific claims and understandings are as pungent and timely as ever.
