商品描述

This open access book provides a method for philosophical problem solving, offering philosophers the tools to stay ahead of machine intelligence. Louis Vervoort argues that, with ultra-intelligent AI knocking at the door, philosophy can no longer rely solely on its ancient methodological toolkit. The proposed method is essentially the same as used in natural science, theoretical physics in particular, and aims at solving problems through theory-synthesis. The author shows by first case studies that current AI can already assist us in this task - a trend that will surely strengthen in the near future. After explaining the method in detail, the book proceeds by proposing unified solutions to classic problems of (analytic) philosophy, such as Gettier's problem, the problem of induction, of causation, of the interpretation of probability, of free will. The author argues that these solutions maximise a quantitative measure of solidity, and that philosophy can now reach standards of certainty that are comparable to those of natural science. The book is written for professional philosophers, but avoids jargon, so it should also be accessible to laypeople and scientists.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本開放存取的書籍提供了一種哲學問題解決的方法,為哲學家提供了超越機器智慧的工具。路易斯·維爾沃特(Louis Vervoort)主張,隨著超智能人工智慧的來臨,哲學不再能僅依賴其古老的方法論工具箱。所提出的方法本質上與自然科學中使用的方法相同,特別是理論物理學,旨在通過理論綜合來解決問題。作者通過初步案例研究顯示,當前的人工智慧已經能夠協助我們完成這項任務——這一趨勢在不久的將來必將加強。在詳細解釋該方法後,書中提出了對經典(分析)哲學問題的統一解決方案,例如蓋提爾問題(Gettier's problem)、歸納問題、因果問題、概率解釋問題以及自由意志問題。作者主張這些解決方案最大化了一種量化的穩固性指標,並且哲學現在可以達到與自然科學相當的確定性標準。這本書是為專業哲學家撰寫的,但避免使用行話,因此也應該對外行人和科學家可讀。

作者簡介

Louis Vervoort received a PhD in philosophy of science at the Université de Montréal in 2013 and worked as a post-doc at the Université du Québec à Montréal, and since then as a professor in Russia, now at the Higher School of Economics in Moscow. Before switching to philosophy, he obtained a PhD in physics at the Université d'Aix-Marseille and did a post-doc at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris. This bi-disciplinary experience often incites him to study philosophical problems from a crossed philosophical-scientific perspective; he has the firm belief that there is a great potential of cross-fertilisation between these fields. Louis Vervoort has worked on classic problems of analytic philosophy, such as Gettier's problem, causation, the interpretation of probability, the problem of induction, free will and consciousness, and the interpretation of quantum physics - quantum nonlocality and Bell's theorem, notably. One of the key insights he would like to convey in this book is that these problems are related, and that a synthetic approach is needed to address them.

作者簡介(中文翻譯)

路易斯·維爾沃特於2013年在蒙特利爾大學獲得科學哲學博士學位,並在魁北克大學蒙特利爾分校擔任博士後研究員,之後在俄羅斯擔任教授,目前任教於莫斯科高等經濟學院。在轉向哲學之前,他在艾克斯-馬賽大學獲得物理學博士學位,並在巴黎高等師範學校進行博士後研究。這種跨學科的經驗常常促使他從交叉的哲學-科學視角研究哲學問題;他堅信這些領域之間存在著巨大的交叉融合潛力。路易斯·維爾沃特曾研究過分析哲學的經典問題,如蓋提爾問題、因果關係、機率的詮釋、歸納問題、自由意志與意識,以及量子物理的詮釋,特別是量子非局域性和貝爾定理。他希望在本書中傳達的一個關鍵見解是,這些問題是相互關聯的,並且需要一種綜合的方法來解決它們。
