This edited volume provides strategies for reducing inequality and
promoting human development through the use of innovative digital
technology and the adoption of new bioethical principles for
governance. The book is structured around a series of practical
proposals which can be adapted to different circumstances,
countries, and political systems. Written by an interdisciplinary
panel of international researchers and professionals, each chapter
details a proposal for a policy—new social technology, Green
Deals, robust social assistance—that will move society forward
towards a sustainable, digital, and equitable future. Researchers
across multiple disciplines--public administration, cognitive
technology, E-learning, finance, philosophy of economy, agronomics,
forest engineering, bioethics and education—will find this volume
a useful reference.
Issues concerning the unity of minds, bodies and the world have
often recurred in the history of philosophy and, more recently, in
scientific models. Taking into account both the philosophical and
scientific knowledge about consciousness, this book presents and
discusses some theoretical guiding ideas for the science of
consciousness. The authors argue that, within this
interdisciplinary context, a consensus appears to be emerging
assuming that the conscious mind and the functioning brain are two
aspects of a complex system that interacts with the world. How can
this concept of reality - one that includes the existence of
consciousness - be approached both philosophically and
scientifically? The Unity of Mind, Brain and World is the result of
a three-year online discussion between the authors who present a
diversity of perspectives, tending towards a theoretical synthesis,
aimed to contribute to the insertion of this field of knowledge in
the academic curriculum.
