The Future Of Philosophy Is CYBORG

Phil Torres imagines a biotech way of solving intractable philosophical problems.

- Phil Torres

There’s a long history of philosophers bemoaning the apparent insolubility of certain philosophical problems, including consciousness, knowledge, meaning, free will, and the self. Many leading thinkers have indeed gestured at a chasm between our intellectual capacities and philosophy’s aim, namely the truth regarding the ultimate nature and workings of reality. We are apparently cognitively ill-equipped to tackle the problems that philosophy poses, yet one generation after another strives to reach the false horizons before us.
