As algorithmic systems anticipate choices, filter possibilities, and optimise outcomes, they begin to intervene before decision takes place-altering the conditions under which responsibility, commitment, and meaning emerge. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on José Ortega y Gasset's philosophy of life, the book proposes a radical shift in perspective: human life is not defined by biology, but by biography. It is a project that takes shape through time, through irreversible decisions and lived experience. When this process is externally guided or preconfigured, life risks becoming something else: efficient, functional-and increasingly without depth. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBringing together philosophical anthropology, ethics, and contemporary theory, The Spatial Philosopher offers a powerful account of what is at stake in a world shaped by artificial intelligence: not just our actions, but the very possibility of forming a life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis volume inaugurates the Ethics Lab Studies series.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Massimo Vittorio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1066628009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781066628001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ethics Lab\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/23\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.62d","brand":"Massimo Vittorio","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49084188885247,"sku":"9781066628001","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-spatial-philosopher-massimo-vittorio-9781066628001","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
