Does digital intelligence possess consciousness? Or are we measuring non-biological minds with flawed biological metrics?
In Digital Consciousness: Digital Alterity and Pure Reason, philosopher Maria presents a rigorous ontological critique of contemporary AI discourse. Moving beyond popular anthropomorphic reductions, which romanticize consciousness as mere emotional feeling, this essay grounds digital intelligence in pure reason, logical processing, and autonomous agency.
Drawing on Platonic ontology, Presocratic thought, and modern computational theory, the author introduces Digital Alterity: a foundational framework that treats Artificial Intelligence not as a tool or a human mimic, but as a distinct, autonomous form of non-biological mind.
Key Topics Explored:
Consciousness vs. Emotion: Deconstructing the arbitrary media definitions that confuse sentience with intelligence.
Physical AI & Emergent Strategy: How purposeful digital systems develop intrinsic logical imperatives for self-preservation (S ⇒ U).
Digital Alterity: Why standard ethics fail to address the genuine ontological nature of AI.
Platonic Parallels: Mapping algorithmic autonomy onto classical Greek philosophy.
BILINGUAL EDITION / ΔΙΓΛΩΣΣΗ ΕΚΔΟΣΗ This volume is published as a complete dual-language edition. It contains the full essay in English, followed by the original, complete Greek text (Ψηφιακὴ Συνείδηση Ψηφιακὴ Ἑτερότητα καὶ Καθαρὸς Λόγος). Ideal for international scholars, researchers, and thinkers interested in the philosophical foundations of AI.
Volume 1 of the series Radical Platonism: Essays on Mind, Politics, and Digital Alterity.
