PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY ON THE NATURE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Sitora F. Abdusattarova — 2025-07-14

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has evolved from a computational discipline into a philosophical phenomenon that challenges traditional conceptions of science, technology, and humanity. As AI systems increasingly exhibit capacities such as learning, reasoning, and decision-making, they raise fundamental questions about the nature of intelligence, autonomy, and epistemic authority. This paper explores AI through the lens of contemporary philosophy of science and technology, analyzing how AI disrupts classical concepts of objectivity, agency, and scientific rationality. Drawing on interdisciplinary perspectives—from analytic philosophy and phenomenology to systems theory and posthumanism—the study examines the ontological and epistemological transformations induced by artificial intelligence. Particular attention is given to the implications of machine learning, algorithmic decision-making, and human-AI interaction for rethinking the human condition in the digital age. The article emphasizes that AI is not merely a technological artifact, but a philosophical event that redefines what it means to know, to act, and to exist in a technologically mediated world.

HEIDEGGER AND EASTERN PHILOSOPHIES: TOWARD AN INTERCULTURAL UNDERSTANDING OF BEING

Alimardon Mustafaev — 2025-07-14

The present article is a comparative analysis of the philosophy of Martin Heidegger in conversation with Daoism, Zen Buddhism, and Advaita Vedanta. It explores the resonances and differences between the main concepts of Heidegger, Being (Sein), Dasein, authenticity, and temporality and the main Eastern concepts. As an example, Heidegger and Daoism both emphasize the inadequacy of language to understand ultimate reality, Heidegger describes nothingness as Buddhist emptiness, and the Vedanta concept of the Self as Brahman provides an opposite of absolute unity. These comparisons are placed in the context of the literature review and our analysis shows that there are convergences and unique commitments in both traditions. We claim that the comparison between Heidegger and Eastern thought not only explains his ideas but also enhances all traditions in question. Such dialogue, as Poggeler observes, can allow the west as well as the east to find its way back to itself, and this is the reciprocity that this exchange can bring about.
