Sobre IBD

Question: How will the artificial intelligence and biotech revolutions lead to a post-human future? Consider the points of view of: Fortran McCyborg-a cyborg designed as advocate for artificial intelligence; Nonette Naturski-a naturalistic philosopher and humanist; Sophia Naturski-the twelve-year-old daughter of Nonette; Becket Geist-a romantic philosopher with leanings toward contemporary science; Tonisha Tolliver-a psychologist; Wilfrid Abducto-a pragmatist philosopher. Their philosophical conversations include topics such as: The human migration to the cyber world; The spiritual nature of intelligent machines; When a simulation becomes the thing simulated; Life’s worth; Human obsolescence; Unnatural history; The role for humans in the post-human era. Remaining question: What is your place in these conversations?

  • Kant
    Immanuel Kant
    Kant’s Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals is one of the most important works in modern moral philosophy. It belongs beside Plato, Aristotle, Machiavelli, and Hobbes. Here Kant sets out to articulate and defend the Categorical Imperative - the fundamental principle that underlies moral reasoning - and to lay the foundation for a comprehensive account of justice and human vi...
  • On the Duty of Civil Disobedience
    HENRY DAVID THOREAU
    Civil Disobedience argues that citizens should not permit their governments to overrule their consciences, and that they have a duty to avoid allowing their acquiescence to enable the government to make them the agents of injustice. Thoreau was motivated in part by his disgust with slavery and the Mexican-American War, but the sentiments he expresses here are just as pertinent ...
  • Beyond Good and Evil
    Friedrich Nietzsche
    Nietzsche, though primarily a philosopher, wrote widely on art, philology, history, religion, tragedy, culture, and science.  In 1886, at the height of his powers, he published Beyond Good and Evil.  Here he examines much of the best of human thought--dogmatic philosophy, Judeo-Christian morality, science and democracy – and finds it lacking.  Rejecting “slave-morality” he pres...

  • The Backside of Thursday
    Raymond Kolcaba
    There was this white dog with a puppy cut. It was found mutilated at the top of a tree. How did it happen? That’s the mystery. No murder mystery though. After all, it’s a dog. Dense PI Jack and his smart lady friend Julie, clueless cops, Birdman Fritz, Jungle Tom, and others make for mystery as farce. It’s all humor about a dimly lit time and very gray place. Who says so? I do....
