A comprehensive guide to AI's ethical, epistemological, and legal impacts through applied philosophy Inartificial intelligence (AI) influences nearly every aspect of society. A Companion to Applied Philosophy of AI provides a critical philosophical framework for understanding and addressing its complexities. Edited by Martin Hähnel and Regina Müller, this volume explores AI's practical implications in epistemology, ethics, politics, and law. Moving beyond a narrow ethical perspective, the authors advocate for a multi-faceted approach that synthesizes diverse disciplines and perspectives, offering readers a nuanced and integrative understanding of AI's transformative role. The Companion explores a broad range of topics, from issues of transparency and expertise in AI-driven systems to discussions of ethical theories and their relevance to AI, such as consequentialism, deontology, and virtue ethics. Filling a significant gap in the current academic literature, this groundbreaking volume also addresses AI's broader social, political, and legal dimensions, equipping readers with practical frameworks to navigate this rapidly evolving field. Offering fresh and invaluable insights into the interplay between philosophical thought and technological innovation, A Companion to Applied Philosophy of AI: Features contributions from leading philosophers and interdisciplinary expertsOffers a unique applied philosophy perspective on artificial intelligenceCovers diverse topics including ethics, epistemology, politics, and lawEncourages interdisciplinary dialogue to better understand AI's profound implications for humanityA Companion to Applied Philosophy of AI is ideal for undergraduate and graduate courses in applied philosophy, AI ethics, political theory, and legal philosophy. It is also a vital reference for those working in areas including AI policy, governance, and interdisciplinary research.

This book features many of the leading voices championing the revival of Neo-Aristotelian Ethical Naturalism (AN) in contemporary philosophy. It addresses the whole range of issues facing this research program at present. Coverage in the collection identifies differentiations, details standpoints, and points out new perspectives.This volume answers a need: AN is quite new to contemporary philosophy, despite its deep roots in the history of philosophy. As yet, there are many unanswered questions regarding its relation to contemporary views in metaethics. It is certainly not equivalent to dominant naturalistic approaches to metaethics in Anglophone philosophy. Indeed, it is not obviously incompatible with some approaches identified as nonnaturalistic. Further, there are controversies regarding the views of the first wave of virtue revivalists. The work of G.E.M. Anscombe and Philippa Foot is frequently misunderstood, despite the fact that they are important figures in the contemporary revival.This volume details a robust approach to ethics by situating it within the context of human life. It will help readers to better understand how AN raises deep questions about the relation of action and its evaluation to human nature. Neo-Aristotelians argue that something like the traditional cardinal virtues, practical wisdom, temperance, justice and courage, are qualities that perfect human reason and desire.

Als eine Form des anthropologischen Naturalismus erhält der aristotelische Naturalismus eine immer größer werdende Bedeutung sowohl im Kontext der angewandten Ethik (z.B. Enhancement, Krankheitstheorie) als auch im Hinblick auf die Beantwortung religionsphilosophischer und kulturanthropologischer Fragestellungen. Angesichts der globalen Herausforderung durch den biotechnologischen Fortschritt und der notwendigen Anerkennung natürlicher Wachstumsgrenzen werden systematische Antworten auf Fragen wie „Welches Verhältnis besteht zwischen moralischen und natürlichen Eigenschaften?“ oder „Was ist die Natur des Menschen aus moralischer Perspektive?“ immer dringlicher.

Wie kann der gegenwärtig bestehende Hiatus zwischen Ethik, der Reflexion auf Moral und Ethos, dem sittlichen Handeln als solchen, überwunden werden? Zur Beantwortung dieser Frage nimmt Martin Hähnel Bezug auf die Idee einer grundlegenden sittlichen Werthaltung – Sachlichkeit –, deren anthropologische Wurzeln zuerst von Max Scheler, Helmuth Plessner und Arnold Gehlen aufgewiesen wurden. Hans-Eduard Hengstenberg entwickelt darauf aufbauend eine umfassende Moralanthropologie und liefert damit eine notwendigerweise um wichtige Einsichten der modernen Tugendethik – vor allem von Philippa Foot und John McDowell – zu ergänzende Grundlage für die Klärung einer Verständnisweise des Ethos, das sich eine Selbstanwendung nicht länger zu verbieten braucht.

Dieser Band behandelt umfassend und systematisch die Frage des Patientenwillens: die historischen und philosophischen Grundlagen des Willensbegriffs, die Beziehung von Autonomie und Wille und praktische Fragen der Bioethik und des Biorechts.
