In an age dominated by Artificial Intelligence and by an almost absolute trust in science as the sole criterion of truth , « Machines That Think, Men Who Believe” confronts one of the most profound challenges of our time: the reduction of the human being to mere matter and the consequent denial of spirituality and consciousness.
Through a philosophical, scientific, and anthropological analysis, the book exposes scientistic materialism as a new form of ideology—a faith that presents itself as neutral and rational, while in fact excluding a priori everything that does not fit within its parameters. The author examines the concept of artificial intelligence, carefully distinguishing between the simulation of thought and authentic conscious experience, and shows why no machine—however sophisticated—can ever possess self-awareness, intentionality, or a soul.
The work addresses the unresolved problem of consciousness, the historical removal of the soul from modern thought, and the anthropological risk of a civilization that delegates to machines not only labor, but also judgment, morality, and meaning. In contrast, the figure of the human being emerges as an embodied spiritual being—capable of transcendence, faith, interior experience, and ethical responsibility.
This essay does not oppose science and spirituality, but invites a mature dialogue between technical knowledge and human wisdom. It is a book for restless readers, critical believers, and intellectually honest skeptics—those who seek answers to the great questions of existence in a world that is increasingly technological and increasingly unaware of itself.
