Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - These works are widely read. They are rarely received.Over time, the manner of approach has changed. What was once encountered as conduct under pressure is now often treated as material for explanation. The shift is not in the texts themselves, but in the position of the reader.Standing Before Homer does not offer a modern interpretation of The Iliad and The Odyssey. It does not seek to explain them. Instead, it restores the conditions under which they were first heard.In the ancient world, nothing within these works was abstract. Speech carried consequence. Action revealed character. Reputation was not commentary; it was identity. To hear these works was to witness conduct under pressure, not to analyze it from a distance.By recovering that position, the reader is invited to encounter the epics differently, not as objects of study, but as sequences of action, speech, and consequence that require no interpretation to be understood.Achilles does not represent rage; he bears it.Odysseus does not symbolize cunning; he enacts it.The question is not what these works mean.It is how they are to be received.This book offers no system, no doctrine, and no argument to be adopted. It prepares the ground for an encounter - one in which what has always been present may be seen again, with clarity. This work was developed through a human-AI collaboration. Draft materials were generated with the assistance of AI tools, after which the author revised, structured, and refined all text to ensure coherence, intent, and literary voice.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Artificial intelligence is everywhere - yet rarely defined with precision.The term is applied to systems of very different kinds, from simple automation to large-scale learning models. As a result, discussions of AI often proceed from assumption rather than understanding. Capabilities are overstated. Limitations are ignored. And questions of consequence are asked without clarity about the system itself.What is Called Artificial Intelligence restores that footing.Beginning with definition, the book distinguishes computation from learning systems, intelligence from thinking, and output from judgment. It shows that modern AI did not arrive as a sudden breakthrough, but accumulated over time through the interaction of computing power and programming power, until learned systems became practical at scale.From there, it examines how AI enters society - not as a single tool, but as a class of tools operating through two primary modes: convenience and productivity. These modes reshape behavior, work, and institutional expectations in distinct ways, often without being clearly recognized.The final section addresses the growing concern surrounding artificial intelligence. It separates real risks - human misuse, over-delegation, and the displacement of judgment - from misplaced fears that attribute thought, intention, or inwardness to machines.This is not a speculative or futuristic account. It is a structured explanation of what AI is, how it developed, and what it does today.- Artificial intelligence is neither trivial nor mysterious.- It is powerful, limited, and frequently misunderstood.- The task is to understand it before judging it.This work was developed through a human-AI collaboration. Draft materials were generated with the assistance of AI tools, after which the author revised, structured, and refined all text to ensure coherence, intent, and literary voice.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Why do civilizations think differently Why do certain ideas appear again and again across history Why do human beings, despite vast differences in culture and circumstance, continue to wrestle with many of the same enduring questions In The Shape of Human Understanding, William J. Striker explores the great traditions of human thought across cultures, civilizations, and historical conditions. Drawing upon philosophy, religion, science, history, and anthropology, he examines the recurring patterns through which people have sought meaning, truth, order, and understanding.Rather than presenting a new system or ideology, this book traces the major orientations that have shaped human inquiry - from the analytical traditions of the West to the harmonizing and inward traditions of the East, from ancient civilizations to the modern world.Along the way, it asks: - Why do different cultures approach reality in different ways - What strengths and limitations accompany each tradition - Why does knowledge continue to expand while understanding often feels fragmented - What enduring patterns connect humanity's many attempts to make sense of existence Neither academic textbook nor popular self-help guide, The Shape of Human Understanding is a broad exploration of the human intellectual journey and the civilizational forces that continue to shape how we think today.For readers interested in philosophy, history, culture, religion, civilization, and the larger questions of human existence. This work was developed through a human-AI collaboration. Draft materials were generated with the assistance of AI tools, after which the author revised, structured, and refined all text to ensure coherence, intent, and literary voice.…
