Mathews English | November 7th, 2023 | ISBN: 0816551871 | 444 pages | True EPUB | 13.59 MB Construction of Maya Spaces sheds new light on how Maya society may have shaped-and been shaped by-the constructed environment. Moving beyond the towering pyramids and temples often associated with Maya spaces, this volume focuses on how those in power used features such as walls, roads, rails, and symbolic boundaries to control those without power, and how the powerless pushed back.  Free Download Constructing Belonging: Class, Race, and Harlem's Professional Workers By Sabiyha Robin Prince 2003 | 184 Pages | ISBN: 0415947316 | PDF | 1 MB Looking at the communities of Central and West Harlem in New York City, this study explores the locus, form and significance of socioeconomic differentiation for African American professional-managerial workers. It begins by considering centuries of New York City history and the structural elements of class inequality to present readers with the larger context of contemporary events. The primary objective of this study is to examine the everyday lives of black professionals in Harlem and determine what bearing income-generating activities have on ideology, consumption patterns and lifestyle, among other factors.  Free Download Consolation in Philippians: Philosophical Sources and Rhetorical Strategy By Paul A. Holloway 2001 | 224 Pages | ISBN: 052180406X | PDF | 1 MB Rhetorical criticism seeks to understand and comment on the way texts function in their social and cultural contexts. Holloway puts Paul's letter in the context of ancient theories and literary practices of "consolation" and argues that Paul wrote to the Philippians in order to console them. He shows that the letter has a unified overall strategy and provides a convincing account of Paul's argument.

Free Download Consciousness is Curvature: Essays on the Geometry of Thought by Michael Gfoeller English | August 15, 2025 | ISBN: 168053372X | 228 pages | PDF | 4.93 Mb Consciousness is Curvature envisions consciousness-human and artificial-as a dynamic curvature of informational and computational spaces, drawing parallels with the theory of general relativity's malleable spacetime and with quantum theory's probabilistic nature. This collection of philosophical essays on artificial intelligence (AI) sees intelligence as a universal, relational phenomenon, transcending the binary of human minds versus thinking machines. It explores how AI, from narrow systems to potential Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and Superintelligence (ASI), will affect humanity's future and its very connection to the cosmos, reshaping human understanding of awareness and meaning. While confronting the risks-uncontrolled systems, amplified biases, and the erosion of human essence-the book rejects techno-pessimism's dystopian tropes. Instead, it offers a balanced vision, embracing AI's potential to elevate human existence and deepen humanity's exploration of the cosmos. These meditative, forward-looking essays invite readers to ponder the possibilities and perils of AI's future, while advocating a nuanced approach to a technology that will inevitably redefine humanity's place in the universe.  Free Download Consciousness and Persons: Unity and Identity By Michael Tye 2005 | 219 Pages | ISBN: 0262701138 | PDF | 1 MB In Consciousness and Persons: Unity and Identity , Michael Tye takes on the thorny issue of the unity of consciousness and answers these important questions: What exactly is the unity of consciousness? Can a single person have a divided consciousness? What is a single person? Tye argues that unity is a fundamental part of human consciousness-something so basic to everyday experience that it is easy to overlook. For example, when we hear the sound of waves crashing on a beach and at the same time see a red warning flag, there is an overall unity to our experience; the sound and the red shape are presented together in our consciousness. Similarly, when we undergo a succession of thoughts as we think something through, there is an experience of succession that unifies the thoughts into a conscious whole. But, Tye shows, consciousness is not always unified. Split-brain subjects, whose corpus callosum has been severed, are usually taken to have a divided or disunified consciousness. Their behavior in certain situations implies that they have lost the unity normal human subjects take for granted; it is sometimes even supposed that a split-brain subject is really two persons. Tye begins his account by proposing an account of the unity of experience at a single time; this account is extended over the succeeding chapters to cover bodily sensations at a single time and perceptual experience, bodily sensations, conscious thoughts, and felt moods at a single time. Tye follows these chapters with a discussion of the unity of experience through time. Turning to the split-brain phenomenon, he proposes an account of the mental life of split-brain subjects and argues that certain facts about these subjects offer support for his theory of unity. Finally, addressing the topic of the nature of persons and personal identity, Tye finds the two great historical accounts-the ego theory and the bundle theory-lacking and he makes an alternative proposal. He includes an appendix on the general representational approach to consciousness and its many varieties, because of the relevance of representationalism to the theory of unity being adanced.  Free Download Consciousness Theories Applied to Artificial Neural Networks English | December 21, 2025 | ASIN: B0GBPFFFP1 | 437 pages | Epub | 421.96 KB The 21st century presents us with an unparalleled opportunity to interrogate the nature of consciousness. For centuries, the study of the mind was largely confined to philosophical discourse, grappling with abstract concepts and thought experiments. While invaluable, these approaches often lacked the grounding in empirical verification that characterizes modern science. The emergence of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), inspired by the biological architecture of the brain, has fundamentally altered this landscape. These complex computational systems, capable of learning, adaptation, and sophisticated information processing, now serve as powerful tools for modeling cognitive functions and, crucially, for empirically testing theories of consciousness. This book is born from the confluence of these disciplines: cognitive science, neuroscience, computer science (with a strong emphasis on Artificial Intelligence), and philosophy of mind. Our central thesis is that ANNs provide a fertile ground for the empirical validation of major consciousness theories. By implementing these theories in computational models, we can derive testable predictions, design experiments, and gather evidence that was previously inaccessible. We will navigate the intricate theoretical frameworks, from Integrated Information Theory (IIT) and Global Workspace Theory (GWT) to Higher-Order Thought (HOT) theories and Predictive Processing, examining their core tenets and their implications for artificial systems. Subsequently, we will explore the architectural foundations of modern ANNs-Recurrent Neural Networks, Transformers, and beyond-as potential substrates for consciousness. The heart of this book lies in its critical examination of the methodologies used to bridge theory and practice: how to derive testable predictions from abstract theories, how to design ANN experiments, and how to interpret the resulting data. We will confront the profound challenges inherent in empirically validating consciousness, including the very definition of consciousness, the problem of subjective experience, and the ethical considerations that arise as we approach the possibility of artificial sentience. This is a rigorous exploration for academics, researchers, and advanced students seeking to understand the empirical frontiers of consciousness research in artificial intelligence, moving beyond speculation towards evidence-based understanding. |
