Abstract

The more we understand how we engage with the world as living, caring creatures, the more we are drawn to rethinking long-established assumptions about our brains. Thomas Fuchs offers a fresh vision of the brain as a resonant organ that mediates and shapes the relations between bodily processes, sensorimotor activity, personal experience, and the interpersonal world. This evocative image is consistent, complex, powerful, and beautiful.Ezequiel A. Di Paolo, Ikerbasque Research Professor, Basque Foundation for Science, Spain. If you think you are your brain, then think again ! In this original, wide-ranging, and thoroughly compelling critique of brain-centric science and medicine, Thomas Fuchs puts the human brain back where it belongs : inside a living, feeling, thinking human being, dynamically situated in a social and cultural environment.Matthew Ratcliffe, Professor for Theoretical Philosophy, Department of Philosophy, University of Vienna, Austria. A much anticipated book, Ecology of the Brain is for anyone wanting to understand the important role the brain plays in the relationship between the body and its surrounding environment. Critical of neurobiological reductionism, Fuchs approaches this topic with great theoretical clarity.The brain does not produce the mind, Fuchs tells us, but it is an organ of relation and interaction : with the human body, with the natural environment, and with the sociocultural world. Essential reading for anyone interested in the real role of the brain. Shogo Tanaka, Department of Psychology, Tokai University, Japan. In Ecology of the Brain, Thomas Fuchs, psychiatrist and philosopher, provides a timely and thought-provoking account of the intimate relationship between brain, body, and life.The traditional divide between mind and brain is here reconciled within an ecological, embodied, and enactive perspective. A must-read for psychiatrists, psychotherapists, neuroscientists, and everyone interested to learn more on human nature. Vittorio Gallese, Professor of Physiology, Department of Medicine and Surgery, Unit of Neuroscience, University of Parma, Italy.

Abstract

"The advances in artificial intelligence and robotics are increasingly calling into question the distinction between simulation and reality of the human person. On the one hand, they suggest a computeromorphic understanding of human intelligence, and on the other, an anthropomorphic view of AI systems. In other words: We increasingly view ourselves as our machines, and conversely, our machines as ourselves. So what is the difference between human and artificial intelligence? And can artificial intelligence achieve consciousness at some point? The chapter argues that an embodied view of consciousness and the person establishes a notion of intelligence that cannot be reduced to information processing"--

Abstract

Der Sammelband geht aus von der besonderen interdisziplinären Relevanz von Jaspers' Philosophie für den Dialog mit der Medizin, Psychiatrie, Psychotherapie und Theologie. Es ist die Eigenart Jasperschen Denkens, dass es unablässig die tief im Menschen und durchaus auch im Wissenschaftler verwurzelte Tendenz infrage stellt, sich in fertigen und so scheinbar Sicherheit bietenden „Gehäusen“ einzurichten. Indem Karl Jaspers diese „Selbsteinschließungen“ aufbricht, beweist er, dass der Mensch seine Existenz nicht einfach ist und hat, sondern in Freiheit „zu sein hat“. Genau dieser unabschließbare Selbstergreifungsakt beinhaltet aber, dass der Mensch dadurch ist, dass er sich immer und je und je übersteigt, heißt philosophisch: transzendiert. Durch diesen Akt des Selbstüberstiegs öffnet sich jedoch erst die Dimension des „Umgreifenden“, sei es der Welt, der Anderen oder des Absoluten. Zugehörigkeit, Halt und Geborgenheit, Sinn und Ordnung erfährt der Mensch erst in diesem Selbstüberstieg. Krankheit beginnt darum im Grunde da, wo die Freiheit in bindungslose Willkür und die kommunikative Bindung in Hemmung und Zwang umschlagen. Humane Medizin will daher letztlich die durch Krankheit beschädigte Zugehörigkeit des Menschen zu seiner Leiblichkeit, seiner Mitwelt und zu seinem Freiheitspotential bewusst machen und restituieren. Diesen Anschauungen fühlen sich die hier vereinigten Aufsätze in kritischer Auseinandersetzung verpflichtet, getragen von der Überzeugung, dass Jaspers' Ideen bleibend aktuell sind und gerade für die Medizin, die Psychiatrie und Psychotherapie fruchtbar gemacht werden können
