Brains and Machines: Towards a unified Ethics of AI and Neuroscience
Brains and Machines: Towards a unified Ethics of AI and Neuroscience provides a comprehensive overview of concepts and ethical issues at the intersection of two emerging technological trends in the 21st century: AI and neurotechnology. In line with recent advances across both fields, debates about philosophical, ethical, regulatory and social issues raised by neuroscience and AI have considerably expanded in the past decade. Yet, despite many intersections and fruitful interactions between the two scientific domains, ethical debates about neuroscience and AI have mostly moved in parallel. This volume assembles voices from various disciplines to provide a more unified view and offer novel per...

Cannabis, Sacred and Profane
Focussing on the ways in which cannabis has been demonized, sacralized and normalized, Christopher Partridge analyses the complex and often difficult relationship Western societies have had with the plant since the nineteenth century. After an introduction to cannabis and its uses, the book discusses how and why it was constructed as a profane influence and a marker of deviance. It then examines the emergence of medicinal cannabis, showing how this has contributed to its normalization and even its sacralization. Finally, there is a discussion of sacred cannabis, which looks at its use within modern occultism, Rastafari and several cannabis churches. Overall, the book provides a cultural history of cannabis in the modern world, which exposes the underlying reasons for the various and changing attitudes to this popular psychoactive substance.
L'età dello sballo
Se dagli Stati Uniti arriva l'allarme fentanyl, anche in Italia la diffusione di droghe tra gli adolescenti, dalla cannabis agli psicofarmaci usati per sballare, sta scatenando un'epidemia di dipendenze. Non ci sono mai stati così tanti pazienti affetti da disturbi legati al consumo di droga come in questi ultimi anni e l'età in cui si sviluppano le prime patologie si abbassa ormai alla preadolescenza. Cadere nel circolo vizioso della soddisfazione-astinenza-brama è un gioco pericoloso e paradossale che ci spinge a bramare ciò che ci fa male. Eppure, gli antidoti esistono e uno dei più potenti è il sentimento della vita che viene trasmesso al bambino nei suoi primissimi mesi, ma che pu...
Pandemic Response and the Cost of Lockdowns
Pandemic Response and the Cost of Lockdowns brings the vast analytical apparatus of the humanities and social sciences to the task of critically analysing the political decisions taken in 2020–21. The global response to the COVID-19 pandemic left little time for critical debate about the impact of lockdowns. Across the world, governments claimed to "follow the science", but they rarely paid attention to the humanities and social sciences. Indeed, the absence of these perspectives is symptomatic of a longer-term trend in the marginalisation of the humanities and social sciences in policymaking and public debate. This book exposes the tragic consequences of this omission in 2020–21 and dem...
