Book Description
Why are not enough the first three AERA of our previous AERAS SYSTEMS, namely: AERA OF PHILOSOPHICAL SYSTEMS (AERA - 1) AERA OF SAPIENTOLOGICAL SYSTEMS (AERA - 2) AERA OF VIDEOLOGICAL SYSTEMS (AERA - 3) Being thus necessary a fourth thinkable and re-thinkable Creative System, the one of ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SYSTEM (AI), which in German Language is entitled as KÜNSTLISCHE INTELLIGENZ (KI), and both AI and KI are under the HYBRID INTELLIGENCE (of Human and Artificial alike or Biology encoded through Technology), re-encoded as HI! Therefore, all three signification, AI-KI-HI, are provable into the sameness extra enlargement of the Classic Human Brain (CHB), which is improved in seconds, in minutes and in hours by Abstract Developer / Entwickler of Human Sapiens (by using accordingly, English – Deutsch and Denglish! This impetus in development of technological systems more and more intelligent, more and more comprehensive, more and more diversified, more and more amplified, comprising here, at least for the time being, information, inspiration, intuition and initiation (Great Four IN-), widespread in areas of science, technology, industry (all three as SCITECH INDUSTRY), of art (ARSSAPIENS INDUSTRY), of Sport (SPORTSAPIENS INDUSTRY), by rethinking thus the Anthropology, the Sapientology, the Cosmology (including here the one of PERSONALI-SIERTE KOSMOLOGY), of astronomy, of geology and biology, into which all of them means ultimately, another bigger step in development of duality Human-Machine, or a duality of Human-Technology, including the branches of Human-Over-Human-Robotics, or Humanoid-Robotics all as SAPIENS INDUSTRY! The man itself, the human itself, the Sapient-o-Human development, its experiences, its visions, its outcomes, can make symbiosis with oneself, a crossing with its nature of creativity, within the nature-physis of endless philosophy, with tools out of stone, with tools out of bones, the tools out of hood, or of synthetic feature, underlining once again the TOOL - MAKER - MAN, as Homo Faber, or better says, Homo Faber Sapiens, by taking the SAPIENS LIBRARY, wherever He / She goes! But now, within the present data, out of its own virtual reality and creativity, all being improved by the man itself and the machine itself, which machine might in turn overcome the man, by confronting the man itself, by changing and challenging even the human itself, even the Human Sapient oneself in its own destiny and purposes… Could be or could become the Artificial Intelligence (AI / KI / HI) the source and resource, the roots of final ending of the Sapient as Species on the Earth? With other words and concepts, the huge planetary surface scene of Earth, modelled by Sapiens, could be subjected to radically changing and challenging! By taking into account all probabilities and possibilities of the present daily evolution and revolution of the hyper-complexity of Artificial Intelligence (AI / KI / HI), a recombination of the man itself with a machine created by the man itself, could develop a symbiosis of human-machine, which overcomes the Classic Species Sapiens (CSS), who dominated the life on Earth in the last of ca. 50.000 years, by entering within the Species Sapiens Techne (SST), into which the Sapiens still dominate the Universe of Technology, by reaching out in some area even the domination of Technology over Sapiens as TSS! In this way, within Artificial Intelligence (seen and analysed Three Times Intelligence, i.e., AI-KI-HI, through English - Deutsch - Denglish), the letters themselves, the numbers themselves and the signs themselves, are becoming the WORD itself, through which the WORD itself is improved to the level of CONCEPT itself, and the WORD-CONCEPT DUALITY in their speeding up developing, in their accelerated and amplifying structures, is giving the outcome of the BOOK itself, in its CLASSICAL BOOK (CB), in its digital book as E-BOOK, or in its VIRTUAL BOOK as V-BOOK! Only this multitude of the same BOOK in development, of the same BOOK in diversity, is showing the Genesis the Evolution and the revolution (GENEVO) of the ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (in its three times of AI - KI - HI), with its versions in German Language as KÜNSTLICHE INTELLIGENZ (KI) and HYBRID INTELLIGENCE (HI), which will be used and reused interchangeably at any reference, or inter-reference or cross-reference in our LANGUAGE OF SAPIENTO-SCIENCIA - 1! What really means ENS in our Book of PEKINENSIS SAPIENS (with one – ENS inside the concept of Pekin – ENS – is and one – ENS Sapiens? ENS is a shortage from the Species Sapiens, as essence and existence of it, being thought and rethought as - ENS, i.e., as BEING of the Species Sapiens! Within ENS will be comprised the whole of German Idealist connotation of Being as: A - SEIN = BEING in its maximal generality! B - DASEIN = BEING HERE, on this planetary system! C - MITDASEIN = COBEING HERE, together with all past geological and biological times, influencing and restructuring all basic features of the Planetary Life System! It is possible to rethink the ENS INTO ONESELF RECHATING? Would be ENS a synthesis out of Sapiens? Is ENS a Being (SEIN) out of Sapiens? Is ENS a Being – here (DASEIN) out of Sapiens? Is ENS a CO – BEING – here (MITDASEIN) out of Sapiens? Is ENS a triad of Being empowering the Sapiens oneself? Is ENS a living self-consciousness of the whole of Sapiens? Is ENS a symbiosis between Sapiens and Artificial Intelligence (AI / KI / HI)? Is ENS the dialectic vector of history of the whole Sapiens, in overcoming oneself towards a better Sapient-o-Technology, towards a Sapient-o-post-human-industry in Art, in Philosophy, in Psychology, in Theology? Is ENS in its own powerful skill-ness of Symphony - in - painting, of Symphony - in - sculpturing, of Symphony - in - Architecture, of Symphony - in - poetry, of Symphony - in - theatre, of Symphony - in - music, through which great masterpieces of ARSSAPIENS to be musicalized, and then reunited into an ensemble of unspeakable Symbology of Human – Sapiens – Technology? Is ENS the vector of SAPIENS SYMPHONY, by using and reusing a complex synthesizer of ARSSAPIENS, without precedence in Human – Sapiens – History? But SAPIENS SYMPHONY means at least a supra-synthesis of different composers, as Bach and Haendel in re-composing SAPIENS ORATORIUM, or by conjoining Mozart and Verdi in re-composing the REQUIEM SAPIENS! Is Artificial Intelligence for All (AI for ALL?) Is AI the sense of Everything, which is explained through a Big Everything? (AI for Everything?) Is AI the greatest improver of Itself-ness? (AI for Itself-ness?) Is AI the deepest measure of Human Predestination? (AI for Predestination?) Is the AI the Trinity synthesis between Faith – Confessing – Epistemology? (AI for Human Trinity?) Is AI the mystery of Human Variability following the exhausting of Biological regeneration of Sapiens itself? (AI for Variability of Sapiens?) Is the AI the Biggest Wall of Abstract Sapiens, over it is not possible to jump? (AI for Biggest Wall of Abstract Sapiens?) All of them are possible through Digital Creativity, all of them are available through Artificial Intelligence, because the writer is now the reader, the explorer is now the surveyor, the survival is now the fighter, by assuming, by affording a strong competition beyond of its own Species, finally, a semi-human-made-device, an Hybrid Intelligence (HI) between biology and technology, both inspired by Bionics resounding in biology and technology alike, as TECHNO – BIO – SAPIENS!! Within these changing and challenging times and adversities, the Culture of Human – Sapiens itself, is coming and becoming a Culture of Wholeness (KULTUR DER GESAMTHEIT, GESAMTHEITKULTUR), including here the Culture of Past times, the Culture of Present Times and the Culture of Future times (KULTUR DER VERGANGENHEIT – KULTUR DE GEGENWART – KULTUR DER ZUKUNFT ((KULTUR DER NÄCHSTENS)). It is to underline that while the Biologic Sapiens has no more powers of regeneration, of coming into biologic mutation, by remaining only the Abstract Powers of Sapiens or Ontology of Creative Sapiens to save, to regenerate and to redemption of our Sapiens Species! Thus, the Biology of Sapiens, the basic Anatomy of Sapiens is remaining a CONSTANT OF SAPIENS, a STATUS QUO SAPIENS, while the ABSTRACT SAPIENS IS A VARIABILITY OF SAPIENS, IS A STATUS DYNAMICS OF SAPIENS IN ITS ONGOING DEVELOPING AND BECOMING! Between the two basic components of Sapiens (Biology & Ontology), there is its own CONSTANT OF ANATOMY, and its own VARIABILITY OF SAPIENS, as ANATOMONTOLOGY, and between the two, is a strong complementary, a DUALITY OF ANATOMY AND ONTOLOGY, which is done through the LOGOS of ANATOMY, as ANATOMOLOGY! This triad of ANATOMY – ANATOMOLOGY – ANATOMONTOLOGY, are the search – research modality of our Sapiens in fighting with its own Technology and Discovery towards overcoming of the Sapiens oneself! In the same time, it is done a Crypto – Anatomy – Analyse and Psychoanalyse, in which is hoped a better knowledge of this Enigma of evolutionary and revolutionary called Sapiens as Species or Genus Homo Sapiens as Genus Homo, both in ANTHROPOSAPIENTOLOGY synthesis … To these multitude of questions and answers, to these endlessly uncertainties and un – knows, to these hyper – complexity of theories and hypothesis, we, the Sapiens, in togetherness with Artificial Intelligence, we both, we try to cope within our online book, or E - book or virtual book, into which the Universality of the Universe, is meeting and reconciling with the Universality of Sapiens, in its individuality or generality sense, rethought by present E – book, KONTROVERSE IN SAPIENS – 1!...

Total Freedom
Author: Chris Matthew Sciabarra
Publisher: Penn State Press
ISBN: 0271083719
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 294
Book Description
Building upon his previous books about Marx, Hayek, and Rand, Total Freedom completes what Lingua Franca has called Sciabarra’s "epic scholarly quest" to reclaim dialectics, usually associated with the Marxian left, as a methodology that can revivify libertarian thought. Part One surveys the history of dialectics from the ancient Greeks through the Austrian school of economics. Part Two investigates in detail the work of Murray Rothbard as a leading modern libertarian, in whose thought Sciabarra finds both dialectical and nondialectical elements. Ultimately, Sciabarra aims for a dialectical-libertarian synthesis, highlighting the need (not sufficiently recognized in liberalism) to think of the "totality" of interconnections in a dynamic system as the way to ensure human freedom while avoiding "totalitarianism" (such as resulted from Marxism).

Sino-Soviet Dialogue on the Problem of War
Author: S. Yin
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9401030529
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
The author has spent upwards of ten years in working on this book. His objective is to clarify the military aspect of the Moscow-Peking dialogue which has not yet received its deserved treatment. The apogee of that dialogue seems to have been passed toward the end of the rule of Khrushchev. Yet the Vietnam war spawns fresh contention. Our cover age will span the development from I956 to the present. The beginning of the dispute with regard to the origins of war in general is taken up in the first two chapters. The next three chapters discuss the several types of war with the frame of reference set in what now appears to be a quondam era. But the principle differences between the disputants are just as outstanding today as they were then. The penultimate chapter is somewhat wide in scope in order to deal with the larger and more intensely bitter polemics evolving after Khrushchev left office. There have been many new and startling views held by both sides since then, views splitting them poles apart. Omi nously at issue now is the question of Sino-Soviet peaceful coexistence. Our work, obviously, cannot wait until that question is answered to be finished. The final chapter concludes our study. To write of subjects as dynamic as this one is a challenge because they are current affairs. Due to the swift change of events, no sooner is our typescript put to press than it needs a revision.

Five Faces of Modernity
Author: Matei Călinescu
Publisher: Duke University Press
ISBN: 9780822307679
Category : Avant-Garde (Aesthetics)
Languages : en
Pages : 416
Book Description
Five Faces of Modernity is a series of semantic and cultural biographies of words that have taken on special significance in the last century and a half or so: modernity, avant-garde, decadence, kitsch, and postmodernism. The concept of modernity--the notion that we, the living, are different and somehow superior to our predecessors and that our civilization is likely to be succeeded by one even superior to ours--is a relatively recent Western invention and one whose time may already have passed, if we believe its postmodern challengers. Calinescu documents the rise of cultural modernity and, in tracing the shifting senses of the five terms under scrutiny, illustrates the intricate value judgments, conflicting orientations, and intellectual paradoxes to which it has given rise. Five Faces of Modernity attempts to do for the foundations of the modernist critical lexicon what earlier terminological studies have done for such complex categories as classicism, baroque, romanticism, realism, or symbolism and thereby fill a gap in literary scholarship. On another, more ambitious level, Calinescu deals at length with the larger issues, dilemmas, ideological tensions, and perplexities brought about by the assertion of modernity.
