No full textConditioned Inhibition in the spatial domain in humans and rats
No full textSpatial learning has been shown to follow associative rules by demonstrations of blocking and overshadowing in both watermazes with rats and virtual watermazes with humans. To examine whether Conditioned Inhibition (CI) can also be demonstrated in a real and virtual watermaze task, two studies were run, one with rats and one with humans. In separate training trials Beacons A and B marked the position of a platform in quadrant X of circular watermaze (AX +/BX+). In subsequent inhibitory training trials, Beacon A was placed in quadrant Y with no platform present (AY-). To test for any CI of Y, in 2 probe trials B was suspended above either quadrant Y (BY) or novel quadrant Z (BZ). Time spent under B was recorded in both trials. In both animal and human studies, during no platform probe trials, latencies to reach Beacon B were longer and less time was spent under the beacon when it was suspended in quadrant Y, where inhibitory training had previously taken place (AY- trials), than when it was hung in the novel quadrant Z. Results suggest that quadrant Y had become a conditioned inhibitor strengthening claims that learning in the spatial domain follows the rules of associative models.<br/

Ewolucyjny transhumanizm w kontekście antropologii filozoficznej
No full textThe author of the article considers the human condition within the framework of technological advances. He justifies the conception of the Enlightenment as an ideology legitimizing the transition from the human being to a “neo-human being.” The basic theses of evolutionary transhumanism are offered and analysed as a mind-set model for the epoch of cybernetic revolution. The main subject of the first section is the concept of “ideology.” It will be discussed with regard to the opposition between Enlightenment and Anti-Enlightenment and finally formulated as a way of maturing that transgresses the traditional definition of ideology as a “style of thought” (Denkstil). In the second section, transhumanism will be introduced as an ideological concept in reference to “Evolution 2045” and “Russia 2045” founded by Dmitry Itskov. On this basis the author will demonstrate that the content of the transhumanistic ideology corresponds to the Platonic concept of technique and therefore pursues a noble ethical purpose.Autor artykułu rozważa kondycję ludzką w kontekście postępów technologicznych. Uzasadnia koncepcję oświecenia jako ideologii legitymizującej przejście od istoty ludzkiej do istoty neoludzkiej. Podstawowe tezy transhumanizmu ewolucyjnego zostaną zaproponowane i przeanalizowane w postaci modelu stanu umysłowego odpowiedniego dla epoki rewolucji cybernetycznej. Główny temat pierwszej części stanowi koncepcja „ideologii”. Będzie ona analizowana w kontekście opozycji między oświeceniem a antyoświeceniem oraz zostanie docelowo ujęta jako droga dojrzewania, która przekracza tradycyjne definicje ideologii jako „stylu myślenia” (Denkstil). W drugiej części transhumanizm zostanie przedstawiony jako koncept ideologiczny w odniesieniu do inicjatyw „Evolution 2045” oraz „Russia 2045” założonych przez Dmitrija Itskova. Na tej podstawie autor pokaże, iż przekaz ideologii transhumanistycznej odpowiada platońskiemu pojęciu techniki i w związku z tym dąży do szlachetnych celów etycznych
