Samenvatting
Artist, technologist, and philosopher James Bridles Ways of Being is a brilliant, searching exploration of different kinds of intelligenceplant, animal, human, artificialand how they transform our understanding of humans place in the cosmos.
What does it mean to be intelligent? Is it something unique to humans or shared with other beingsbeings of flesh, wood, stone, and silicon? The last few years have seen rapid advances in artificial intelligence. But rather than a friend or companion, AI increasingly appears to be something stranger than we ever imagined, an alien invention that threatens to decenter and supplant us.
At the same time, were only just becoming aware of the other intelligences that have been with us all along, even if weve failed to recognize or acknowledge them. These othersthe animals, plants, and natural systems that surround usare slowly revealing their complexity, agency, and knowledge, just as the technologies weve built to sustain ourselves are threatening to cause their extinction and ours. What can we learn from them, and how can we change ourselves, our technologies, our societies, and our politics to live better and more equitably with one another and the nonhuman world?
The artist and maverick thinker James Bridle draws on biology and physics, computation, literature, art, and philosophy to answer these unsettling questions. Startling and bold, Ways of Being explores the fascinating, strange, and multitudinous forms of knowing, doing, and being that make up the world, and that are essential for our survival.
