Uncoupling our understanding of this most familiar concept from its traditional social science moorings, this book trains a cultural studies lens on intelligence to expose it as yet another form of representation.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eInventing Intelligence\u003c\/i\u003e charts the history of intelligence from its earliest articulations through to postmodern AI. Individual chapters recount the loving spheres of divine intelligence imagined by Plato, the self-conscious stylings of the Renaissance Man, the politics of intelligence in the Enlightenment, as well as contemporary assessments of digital intelligence and the mysterious adventure of Einstein’s brain. Ambitious in its historical sweep, unflinching in its challenge to conventional wisdom, \u003ci\u003eInventing Intelligence\u003c\/i\u003e is for everyone and anyone who used to think that the parameters and the stakes of intelligence—evident in the current controversy over “intelligent” design—had been negotiated and finalized.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003ePaul Michael Privateer\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor of Humanities at Arizona State University.
