Goethe in the age of artificial intelligenceenlightened solutions for a modern hubris /[electronic resource] :by Malte Ebach. - Singapore :Springer Nature Singapore :2022. - xxii, 130 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Chapter 1 Goethe in the Age of AI -- Chapter 2. A.I. and the Modern Hubris -- Chapter 3. Goethe and the Birth of the Modern Hubris -- Chapter 4. Anschauung and the Urphenomenon and the Path to Discovery -- Chapter 5. How to Remedy Direct Observation -- Chapter 6. Getting Rid of Bad Metaphysics -- Chapter 7. Goethe's Italian Journey and the Transformation of Self.

Malte Ebach has managed to provide fresh insights by situating Goethe's alternative mode of science within the larger contemporary problems associated with artificial intelligence and big data. The result is Goethe is not treated as a historical phenomenon, but rather as highly relevant to the issues of today. - Frederick Amrine, Arthur F. Thurnau Professor, The University of Michigan. Inside you lies a precise scientific instrument - the ability to observe Nature and recall past experiences. You were born with it and you use it every day. You can be trained to use it more effectively to, for example, compare and discover new species of organisms or new minerals. Our senses do have limitations, and we often use microscopes, telescopes and other tools to aid our observation. However, we benefit from knowing their limitations and the impact they have on our ability to combine our observations and our experience to make decisions. Once these tools replace our direct observation and our experience we ourselves become disconnected from Nature. Scientific practice turns into well-meant opinions out-weighing empirical evidence. This is happening now in the current age of big data and artificial intelligence. The author calls this the Modern Hubris and it is slowly corroding science. To combat the Modern Hubris and to reconnect with Nature, scientists need to change the way they practise observation. To do so may require the scientist to transform themself. One person who successfully did this was Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. His journey demonstrates how one man attempted to take on the Modern Hubris by transforming his life and how he saw Nature. Following Goethe's transformation teaches us how we can also reconnect ourselves with Nature and Natural science. Dr. Malte C. Ebach is a multidisciplinary scientist, a natural historian, author and editor of several books on biogeography, biological systematics and the history of biogeography. He is an honorary associate professor at the University of New South Wales, Sydney, an associate researcher at the Australian Museum, and a fellow of the Royal Society of New South Wales (FRSN) He has a passion for Goethe's scientific endeavours and how Goethe's experiences formulated his view of how science and the natural world change us.
