In Defence of the Human Being

Foundational Questions of an Embodied Anthropology

With the progress of artificial intelligence, the digitalization of the lifeworld, and the reduction of the mind to neuronal processes, the human being appears more and more as a product of data and algorithms. The book applies cutting-edge concepts of embodiment and enactivism to current scientific, technological and cultural developments
