Artificial Intelligence: The Fourth Blow to Our Narcissism Notes IndexReviewsCatherine Malabou is one of the rare philosophers who seriously engages contemporary biological research in her explorations of human experience. In this book, she turns her attention to the core question of intelligence, and with spectacular results. At stake is the very future of human thought, and Malabou is led to reflect on machine intelligence for the first time, generating singular insights. As ever, Malabou's prose is precise and elegant, deftly expressed in Carolyn Steadman's fluid translation. -- David Bates, author of <i>Plasticity and Pathology: On the Formation of the Neural Subject</i> In this remarkable book Catherine Malabou focuses on the transformations of intelligence as it moves from genetics to epigenetics to automatism. Historically grounded, philosophically astute, and engagingly written, this book is highly recommended for anyone interested in intelligence-artificial and natural-and in contemporary configurations of what counts as human. -- N.
