{"product_id":"collective-agency-and-cooperation-in-catrin-misselhorn-9783319155142","title":"Collective Agency and Cooperation in Natural and Artificial Systems: Explanation, Implementation and Simulation","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book brings together philosophical approaches to cooperation and collective agency with research into human-machine interaction and cooperation from engineering, robotics, computer science and AI. Bringing these so far largely unrelated fields of study together leads to a better understanding of collective agency in natural and artificial systems and will help to improve the design and performance of hybrid systems involving human and artificial agents. Modeling collective agency with the help of computer simulations promises also philosophical insights into the emergence of collective agency.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe volume consists of four sections. The first section is dedicated to the concept of agency. The second section of the book turns to human-machine cooperation. The focus of the third section is the transition from cooperation to collective agency. The last section concerns the explanatory value of social simulations of collective agency in the broader framework of cultural evolution. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Catrin Misselhorn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3319155148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783319155142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/14\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 311\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 6.23w x 0.92d","brand":"Catrin Misselhorn","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45064662483199,"sku":"9783319155142","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_751a103e-4622-402e-adf4-b310d2b1d1f1.jpg?v=1712124767","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/collective-agency-and-cooperation-in-catrin-misselhorn-9783319155142","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
