Description: What Is Essential to Being Human? : The Implications for Social Morphogenesis and Morphostasis, Hardcover by Archer, Margaret S. (EDT); Maccarini, Andrea M.

Considering what might qualify as such an essence, this volume demonstrates that the abstract question of 'essentialism' underpins a range of social issues that are too often considered in isolation and usually justify 'Robophobia', rather than 'Robophilia,' in terms of morality, social relations and legal rights. Any defense of human exceptionalism requires clarity about what property(ies) ground it and an explanation of why these cannot be envisaged as being acquired (eventually) by AI robots.
