Opis

This book explores how social robots and synthetic social agents will change our social systems and intersubjective relationships. It employs resources from continental philosophy, Actor-Network theory, psychoanalysis, systemic theory, and constructivist cognitive theory to develop a theory of socio-technical change.

Recenzje

"This book draws on a dazzling array of conceptual resources to explore the ethical issues of integrating future artificial agents into communities in ways that may challenge the very meaning of human flourishing."

Matthew Dennis, Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands
