 Os 33 textos foram redigidos com o intuito de levantar o véu sobre a face oculta, insuspeita para a maioria dos leitores, da vida das plantas, fungos e dos animais, incluindo do próprio Homem. Ao fazê-lo, tive a preocupação de acentuar dois aspetos. O primeiro é a interdependência das espécies, que assume, muitas vezes, o estatuto de simbiose obrigatória, consolidada ao longo de milénios de coevolução; dito de outro modo, a evolução das espécies é um processo comunitário, pois não há nenhuma que se possa vangloriar de ter evoluído e se ter diversificado por si própria, sem ser em conluio com outras. O segundo é o equilíbrio que subjaz às dinâmicas da herbivoria e da predação. Estas consubstanciam os fluxos de matéria e de energia inerentes à teia da vida, sem que, jamais, ponham em causa a sobrevivência de qualquer espécie. Transpondo para o senso comum, poderíamos invocar, a esse propósito, a sageza da natureza; que contrasta com irresponsabilidade que o Homem exibe desde que descobriu como fazer o fogo.

The Experience Machine - How Our Minds Predict And Shape Reality

de Andy Clark

~~17,56€~~ 12,29€ 30% IMEDIATO

portes grátis

 A grand new vision of cognitive science that explains how our minds build our worlds ‘One of the most important books yet published this century’ Spectator For as long as we've studied the mind, we've believed that information flowing from our senses determines what our mind perceives. But as our understanding has advanced in the last few decades, a hugely powerful new view has flipped this assumption on its head. The brain is not a passive receiver, but an ever-active predictor. At the forefront of this cognitive revolution is widely acclaimed philosopher and cognitive scientist Andy Clark, who has synthesized his ground-breaking work on the predictive brain to explore its fascinating mechanics and implications. Among the most stunning of these is the realization that experience itself, because it is guided by prior expectation, is a kind of controlled hallucination. We don't passively take in the world around us; instead our mind is constantly making and refining predictions about what we expect to see. This even applies to our bodies, as the way we experience pain and other states is shaped by our expectations, and this has broader implications for the understanding and treatment of conditions from PTSD to schizophrenia to medically unexplained symptoms. From the most mundane experiences to the most sublime, it is our predictions that sculpt our experience. A landmark study of cognitive science, The Experience Machine lays out the extraordinary explanatory power of the predictive brain for our lives, mental health and society.

Living On Earth - Life, Consciousness And The Making Of The Natural World

de Peter Godfrey-Smith

~~14,86€~~ 10,40€ 30% IMEDIATO

 The eagerly anticipated conclusion to Peter Godfrey-Smith’s three-part exploration of the origins of intelligence on Earth, which began with the bestselling Other Minds in 2018 and continued with Metazoa in 2020. Peter Godfrey-Smith, the scuba-diving philosopher, examined the evolution of sentience in Other Minds. In Metazoa he asked how that consciousness shaped and was shaped by animal bodies. Now, in Living on Earth, he takes that line of questioning a step further, asking, how has life shaped and been shaped by our planet? He visits the largest living stromatolite fields, examples of how cyanobacteria began belching oxygen into the atmosphere as they converted carbon dioxide and water into living matter using the sun's light. The extraordinary increase in oxygen in the atmosphere resulted in an explosion in the diversity of life. And so began a riotous tangle of coevolution between plants and animals, as each changed the environment around them allowing others to utilise these new ecosystems and thus new species to evolve. From cyanobacteria, through algae on to ferns or trees or grasses, and from protists , through invertebrates and fish through the dinosaurs and on to birds and mammals – our planet has seen an explosion of life forms, all reacting to their environment and all creating new environments that allow other life to evolve. In our own evolutionary line, an initially unremarkable mammal changed in new ways, evolving to come out of the trees to inhabit new savannas and then onto inhabit the whole planet. One of the most adaptable species ever found on Earth, and arguably the species causing the most change, humans are still part of this 3.8 billion year history of life forms changing the world around them. In Living on Earth, Godfrey-Smith takes us on a grand tour of the history of life on earth. He visits Rwandan gorillas and Australian bowerbirds, returns to coral reefs and octopus dens, considers the impact of language and writing, and weighs the responsibilities our unique powers bring with them, as they relate to factory farming, habitat preservation, climate change, and the use of animals in experiments. Living on Earth shows that Humans belong to the infinitely complex system that is the Earth, and our minds are products of that system, but we are also an acting force within it. We are creatures of Earth, but we hold Earth's future in our hands. It is a responsibility that we must all understand and accept.
