      Environments of Intelligence

      From natural information to artificial interaction

      • 218 pages

      Exploring the intersection of cognition and the environment, Hajo Greif delves into '4E' theories, emphasizing the roles of embodiment, embedding, extension, and enaction. He argues for a refined understanding of information as inherently natural and environmentally integrated, challenging traditional views that have overlooked this connection. By examining how certain artefacts influence cognitive processes, Greif contributes to a deeper understanding of how our surroundings shape thought and perception.

      A real book on ethics, as Wittgenstein had it, if one could conceive it in the first place, would be the book to destroy all other books. Yet there is an increasing number of real-world discourses in which ethical values aremobilized as justifications for socio-political action while, in turn, moral problems are becoming a topic of political negotiation. Although it will be difficult to find systematic accounts of an absolute good or of absolutevalues in these debates, it is equally difficult to imagine them not being deeply informed by such considerations. Rather than merely adding to the corpus of applied ethics on the one hand or remaining in seemingly Wittgensteinian silence about ethics on the other, many contributions to this volume explore the reach of what can be said in ethical terms, while others provide critical discussions of what is being said in various fields of applied ethics and political philosophy under real-world power relations. This volume collects invited contributions from the 35th International Wittgenstein Symposium 2012 in Kirchberg am Wechsel, Austria. Authors include: Alice Crary, Peter Dabrock, Rom Harré, Agnes Heller, Jaakko Hintikka, Peter Koller, Anton Leist, Chantal Mouffe, Julian Nida-Rümelin, Hans Sluga, David Stern, Gianni Vattimo.
