Approaches from the sciences, philosophy and theology, including
the emerging field of astrobiology, can provide fresh perspectives
to the age-old question 'what is life?'. Has the secret of life
been unveiled and is it nothing more than physical chemistry?
Modern philosophers will ask if we can even define life at all, as
we still don't know much about its origins here on Earth. Others
regard life as something that cannot simply be reduced to just
physics and chemistry, while biologists emphasize the historical
component intrinsic to life on Earth. How can theology
constructively interpret scientific findings? Can it contribute
constructively to scientific discussions? Written for a broad
interdisciplinary audience, this probing volume discusses life,
intelligence and more against the background of contemporary
biology and the wider contexts of astrobiology and cosmology. It
also considers the challenging implications for science and
theology if extraterrestrial life is discovered in the future.
This volume collects an international body of voices, as a timely
response to a rapidly advancing field of the natural sciences. The
contributors explore how the disciplines of theology, earth and
space sciences contribute to the debate on constantly expanding
ethical challenges, and the prospect of humanity's future. The
discussions offered in this volume see the 'community' as central
to a sustainable and ethical approach to earth and space sciences,
examining the role of theology in this communal approach, but also
recognizing theology itself as part of a community of humanity
disciplines. Examining the necessity for interaction between
disciplines, this collection draws on voices from biodiversity
studies, geology, aesthetics, literature, astrophysics, and others,
to illustrate precisely why a constructive and sustainable dialogue
is needed within the current scientific climate.

Im Zusammenhang mit der Weiterentwicklung der KI und damit
einhergehender technischer Konstruke stellt sich die Frage, wie
sich Kunstliche Intelligenz von menschlicher Intelligenz
unterscheidet und was genau unter Intelligenz zu verstehen ist.
Wird hier irgendwann eine eigenstandige Art von bewusstem Leben
entstehen, das nicht leibgebunden und koerperbezogen ist? Ob und
wie werden Autonomie und Intentionalitat in kunstlichen
Intelligenzsystemen ausgeubt und Verantwortung adressiert? Welche
theologischen Impulse gibt es zur Einordnung und kritischen
Begleitung der KI? Die Beitrage dieses Buches geben Antworten in
interdisziplinarer Perspektive, werfen aber auch neue Fragen auf.
