| Annotation | — | Who has the right to decide what is good and what is evil? And does the power to create a world give anyone the right to dispose of the lives of those who live in it? The Creator: Beyond Obedience is a short philosophical essay about conscience, freedom, and the moral limits of power. It begins with Arjuna's hesitation on the battlefield of the Mahabharata and moves through Plato's Euthyphro dilemma, the ethics of creating minds, the nature of consciousness, and a speculative picture of future worlds in which creators stand beside one another instead of above. Thirteen chapters, an epilogue, an afterword that marks plainly what is observation, what is argument, and what is speculation, and a reader's workshop with five exercises and twelve open questions. Translated from the Russian. The text of this edition was prepared with the help of AI tools. |
