      abstract = {What is intelligence? The concept crosses and blurs the  boundaries between natural and artificial, bridging the  human brain and the cybernetic world of AI. In this book,  the acclaimed philosopher Catherine Malabou ventures a new  approach that emphasizes the intertwined, networked  relationships among the biological, the technological, and  the symbolic.Malabou traces the modern metamorphoses of  intelligence, seeking to understand how neurobiological and  neurotechnological advances have transformed our view. She  considers three crucial developments: the notion of  intelligence as an empirical, genetically based quality  measurable by standardized tests; the shift to the  epigenetic paradigm, with its emphasis on neural  plasticity; and the dawn of artificial intelligence, with  its potential to simulate, replicate, and ultimately  surpass the workings of the brain. Malabou concludes that a  dialogue between human and cybernetic intelligence offers  the best if not the only means to build a democratic  future. A strikingly original exploration of our changing  notions of intelligence and the human and their  far-reaching philosophical and political implications,  Morphing Intelligence is an essential analysis of the  porous border between symbolic and biological life at a  time when once-clear distinctions between mind and machine  have become uncertain.},
