Aspecte filosofice ale relației dintre conștiință, identitate și neuroștiința contemporană [Articol]

Abstract

Contemporary society evolves rapidly, influencing human consciousness and identity amid advancements in neuroscience, information technologies, and artificial intelligence (AI). Consciousness, defined as the capacity to perceive, think, and reflect, shapes self-awareness and cognitive processes. Identity, encompassing personal, social, and cultural traits, forms the sense of self and continuity over time. Neurotechnological breakthroughs – such as brain-computer interfaces, neural plasticity, and advanced imaging – redefine human interaction with technology. AI systems, from machine learning to deep learning, replicate human cognitive tasks, integrating into medicine, industry, and beyond. Philosophical perspectives on consciousness have transitioned from metaphysical views to scientific approaches, exploring phenomena like subjective experiences and neural correlates. Emerging disciplines, like „Adaptology,” focus on human adaptability to technological change, emphasizing cognitive flexibility, emotional resilience, and continuous learning. Future research must address the interplay of consciousness, identity, and digital transformation to navigate societal and personal evolution effectively.
