Description

This is a unique and seminal book for knowledge areas such as law, technology and cybernetics.Author researches the concept of a person since pre-Socratic to contemporary philosophers. Then he investigated which characteristics of human being Law apprehended to treat the Man in different way from everything else in order to attribute to him the legal status of Person, subject of rights as opposed to object of rights. He highlights the concepts of brain, mind end intelligence and also the meaning of conscious and unconscious derived from Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalysis.He also studied the theory of evolution and artificial life to grasp the concept of life in order to discern when one faces a living being, no matter its organic or synthetic and to present his opinion on what intelligence is and how an unintelligent or less intelligent process car result in greater intelligence, like evolution of species.The author enters the fields of cybernetic and artificial intelligence and embraces the lessons of para-consistent logic, autopoiesis and the law of accelerated returns reaching the concept of technological Singularity and post-humanity.Marco Aurelio exams in depth the concept of the person under the law not adhering to the paradigm that considers only the Homo Sapiens as the only being that could achieve the status of Person.
