Human beings increasingly see themselves as products of data and algorithms, mirroring machines and reducing mind to brain processes. This book counters such self-reification by defending a humanism of embodiment: corporeality, vitality, and embodied freedom form the basis of self-determined existence, using technology as a means rather than submitting to it. It offers an embodied and enactive account of the person—neither pure mind nor brain but a living being in relation with others—applied to AI, transhumanism, virtual reality, neuroscience, psychiatry, and societal acceleration that fosters disembodiment.
