Sommario/riassunto

This book describes the doctrine and impact of Alexander of Aphrodisias, the second-century commentator on Aristotle, through the centuries and up to his sixteenth-century role as the clandestine prompter of a new philosophy of nature. In the millennium after his death, Alexander first served the Neo-Platonic schools as their authority on Aristotle, and in the Arabic centuries subsequently served as Averroes’ exemplary exponent of the doctrine of the mortality of the soul. For this reason, the Latin Scholastics deemed his work unworthy of being translated. This changed only in the late Middle Ages, when Alexander emerged as the only Aristotelian alternative to Averroes. When in 1495 his account of Aristotle’s psychology was translated and published, his principles of a natural philosophy, which were exempt from metaphysics and based on sense perception, eventually became accessible. The prompt reception and widespread endorsement of Alexander’s teaching testify to his impact throughout the sixteenth century. Originally published as Volume XVI, No. 1 (2011) of Brill's journal Early Science and Medicine .

Sommario/riassunto

Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the way organizations operate, make decisions, and create value. As AI systems become increasingly



embedded in business processes, the challenge lies not only in understanding the technology but in managing it effectively. This book provides a comprehensive and structured overview of the principles, strategies, and practices required to integrate AI into modern organizations. It spans the full AI lifecycle, from foundational concepts and learning methods to the identification of use cases, the implementation of AI strategies and governance mechanisms, as well as the design and development of AI applications. It examines how to design meaningful human-AI interactions, navigate workforce transformation, and operate AI systems at scale. Ethical, legal, and social dimensions are addressed to ensure that AI adoption aligns with values such as transparency, fairness, and accountability. The book is written for decision-makers, professionals, and students who are not only curious about AI – but who want to actively shape its role in organizations. Whether you’re leading AI initiatives or preparing for the future of work, it provides essential guidance for leveraging AI in a strategic and impactful way. After all, AI hasn’t (yet) figured out how to manage itself.
