We live in a world increasingly governed by technology―but to what end? Technology rules us as much as laws do. It shapes the legal, social, and ethical environments in which we act. Every time we cross a street, drive a car, or go to the doctor, we submit to the silent power of technology. Yet, much of the time, the influence of technology on our lives goes unchallenged by cit...(展开全部)

促使布鲁姆出面澄清文学经典的统一和美学价值的，是他对目前横行西方的文化多元主义以及克隆自法德的理论的不满，他将这些称之为“愤怒学派”（School of Resentment）对文学侮辱，还特别对所谓“文化资本”在文学研究中的滥用冷嘲热讽。布鲁姆便勇敢列举了自己反对的名单：艾略特的新批评、保罗·德·曼的解构主义、所谓的新左派和老右派，还有“愤怒学派”的六个分支：女性主义者，马克思主义者，拉康派，新历史主义者，解构主义者，符号学派等。它们都纷纷对文学经典指手划脚，要求拓展新经典的呼声越来越高。布鲁姆嘲笑这类文学研究者是“业余的社会政治家、半吊子社会学家、不胜任的人类学家、平庸的哲学家以及武断的文化史家”，无疑布鲁姆因此而树敌众多，但无论是他的敌人还是暗中的支持者都会钦佩他坚持己见的勇气。他不在乎别人的嘲笑，因为他认定“对经典性的预言需要作家死后两代人左...(展开全部)

As the world around us increases in technological complexity, our understanding of it diminishes. Underlying this trend is a single idea: the belief that our existence is understandable through computation, and more data is enough to help us build a better world. In reality, we are lost in a sea of information, increasingly divided by fundamentalism, simplistic narratives, cons...(展开全部)

Three of the world’s most accomplished and deep thinkers come together to explore Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the way it is transforming human society—and what this technology means for us all.
