«Chamanes y robots» is the philosophical essay by Roger Bartra, published by Editorial Anagrama in paperback (184 pages, in Spanish).
The essay links shamanic rituals and the placebo effect with the development of a possible artificial consciousness. It first analyzes healing through words and then the robot as a thinking machine, posing the paradox of a consciousness that seems to require sensitivity and suffering, something machines lack.
It belongs to Anagrama's Argumentos collection (no. 535); edition published in 2019.
For readers interested in philosophy of mind, anthropology and the debate on artificial intelligence.
