Abstract

Averroës was cursed in European history for his conception of a human intellect radically separate from bodies, eternal and unique for the entire species. It was seen as the ruin of personal thought, the end of the individual-subject. We want to relate this to both what Marx says about the " general intellect " in his Fragment on Machines, and the alienation that our age denounces in artificial intelligence.
