Beschreibung:
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.
