The Self: An Ontological Study of Psychology
Description:
The Stoics of ancient Greece and Rome believed that the Universe is determined while only the human mind is free.
Strong AI is the philosophical belief that man-made computers may one day become so complex that they will become conscious without any new technology that we do not already posses.
J.S. Mill believed that all decisions and actions should bring the greatest good to the greatest number of people.
Immanuel Kant's moral imperative states that one should only make decisions that one would wish for everyone else to make.
The Self: An Ontological Study of Psychology is an inquiry into the heart of philosophy of mind. In an eloquent and often complex synthesis of such diverse fields as philosophy, physics and psychology, Jason P. Rudd has created a model of the mind that may help to bring us closer to a complete understanding of ourselves and of the Universe from which we came. Equipped with his new model, Rudd refocuses the study of philosophy and thinks through a new system of etheics that seems to naturally follow those laid out by history.
