The End of Pure Philosophy of Mind

In this thought-provoking work, Boris Kriger introduces the Reflexive Inference Law, demonstrating mathematically that introspection alone cannot reveal universal features of the mind, highlighting the inherent subjectivity of self-knowledge. Drawing on information theory, complexity science, and Montaigne’s essay tradition, the book explores the limitations of traditional philosophy while emphasizing the potential of artificial intelligence to expand our understanding of consciousness. It offers a rigorous and hopeful perspective on the future of self-awareness and the possibilities for distinguishing universal truths from individual perspectives.
