Description
Who or what am I? And even, how and why am I? These questions have been asked by countless generations and we have inherited their answers in our sciences and religions, and in the histories, arts and philosophies of our day. John Bowker is the author and editor of many books, including The Oxford Dictionary of Worlds Religions, but this book is not a dictionary. It looks at how those questions have been explored in beliefs and behaviours in the past. It looks also at how they are being asked and answered now in the digital age of computers, computational cognition and AI.
