Baroque Intelligence: From the Seventeenth Century to the Age of AI

This volume explores the concept of Baroque Intelligence across disciplines and historical periods, tracing its evolution from the Baroque era to the present so-called "AI revolution," and investigating its continuing relevance in the age of artificial intelligence. The interdisciplinary approach brings together scholars in comparative literature, philosophy, art history, visual arts, architecture, design, and cultural studies to examine how Baroque modes of thought, creativity, and intellect have been reinvented, reimagined, and recreated over time. It is important for scholars to reflect on the connections that appear across and between disciplines. This collection unites these connections to work toward a comprehensive, multidisciplinary understanding of the phenomenon of Baroque Intelligence.
