Sophimatics is an emerging interdisciplinary field that transcends traditional generative artificial intelligence by integrating philosophy, logic and advanced computational models. Focusing on meaning, context, temporality and intentionality, Sophimatics seeks to develop artificial intelligence systems that understand and reason with a conceptual depth similar to that of humans rather than relying solely on data correlation. This book explores the philosophical foundations that have shaped artificial intelligence, from the pre-Socratic reflections on cosmic flux to post-humanist critiques of power and ethics. Through historical and analytical lenses, it uncovers how ancient concepts of change, knowledge, and time continue to inform modern AI’s ability to learn, adapt, and interpret the world. Combining in new models critical philosophical inquiry with empirical research in cognitive artificial intelligence and ethics, this volume offers a new framework for the future of intelligent systems, one that prioritises meaningful interpretation, dynamic adaptation, and ethical awareness.
