Determinism, Self-Organization, Generativity: The History and Future of the Relation between Mind and Universe
In this talk a newly emerging Weltverhältnis, the metaphysical paradigm of generativity, will be sketched out through a reconstruction of the history of mind, moving from the first signs of animal intelligence and the appearance of human sentience up to the threshold of posthuman cognitive agencies. This evolutionary and civilizational trajectory of the development of mind shows that mind is a realization of generative processes deeply embedded in the universe itself, and while these processes of generativity have reached a certain level of refinement in the human mind, they are not necessarily bound to the human organism as their sole medium.
Davor Löffler worked internationally in various research institutions, such as the “Mind Machine Project” at MIT and the "Interacting Minds Center", Aarhus. Currently he teaches at the interdisciplinary research platform “The New Center for Research and Practice”. His forthcoming book, Generative Realitäten. Zur Zeitform und Metaphysik der Technologischen Zivilisation, will be published by Springer in 2017.
