    Shamans and Robots - On Ritual...

    This book is a profound exploration of the external influences that shape human consciousness, from healing rituals to digital devices. In this voyage through thousands of years of psychosomatic healing, distinguished anthropologist and sociologist Roger Bartra examines the placebo effect as a key to our understanding of human consciousness. Shamans and Robots demonstrates how biology and technology become intertwined within human culture by using the various histories of ritual and symbolic healing to speculate about future developments in artificial intelligence. 
     
     
     
    Charting the history of the placebo effect through medieval healing, shamanism, and early psychoanalytic practices, Bartra posits that consciousness is not simply the province of the mind but something equally shaped by external systems and objects. He finds evidence of this "exocerebrum"—the extension of our brains outside the body—in the shamanistic concept of the placebo, in which external objects heal our bodies, and in modern technical devices like prostheses or robots, whose development of a mechanical consciousness would have to mimic, and in turn elucidate, the processes involved in the creation of consciousness in humans. Through this radical concept, he analyzes digital media's relationship to the functions of the human brain and probes the possibility of artificial consciousness.

    A Preface to Politics

    A Preface to Politics by Walter Lippmann is a groundbreaking exploration of political thought, personal psychology, and social reform at the dawn of the 20th century. First published in 1913, the book critiques the rigidities of conventional political ideologies and proposes a dynamic, human-centered approach to governance. Lippmann skillfully examines the psychological underpinnings of political behavior, dissecting how habits, taboos, and outdated moral codes shape policy and hinder progress. The book opens with a contrast between the "routineer"—a person of habitual action—and the "inventor," the creative force of political change. It moves through provocative chapters such as The Taboo, The Golden Rule and After, and Some Necessary Iconoclasm, where Lippmann challenges the reader to think beyond inherited values. His analysis of the Chicago Vice Report in Well Meaning but Unmeaning serves as a masterful example of how noble intentions can lead to shallow reform without systemic understanding. Throughout the text, Lippmann calls for a reimagining of creeds, values, and social goals that suit a rapidly evolving modern world. He does not advocate revolution for its own sake but underscores the need for cultural depth in true societal transformation. As a prelude to modern liberalism, this book laid the philosophical groundwork for future political discourse and remains influential in discussions on pragmatism, democracy, and progressive reform.
