Maker Introduction

This book was created as the starting point of the ZionTalk Project to restore 'the power of human thought' at Cleon, an AI-specialized company located in Silicon Valley, USA. The ZionTalk Project began with the question: In the age of artificial intelligence, how can humans strengthen their power of thought?
As the first step to answer that question, the ZionTalk team considered restoring the map of human thought, which led to the publication of the 'Asking from the Shoulders of Giants' Thought Trilogy.

The ZionTalk Project team completed the core of human thought, which would be difficult to achieve even over decades, at an unprecedentedly high level in a short period of time.
The secret was the collaboration between a human team composed of humanities and AI experts and various types of artificial intelligence.

A vast philosophy database (SEP, IEP, REP) was organized by AI, the human experts selected and verified the core, and it was reconstructed in language that readers can understand.

✓ Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (SEP)

✓ Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy (IEP)

✓ Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy (REP)

✓ PhilPapers · Project Gutenberg

The collaboration between human experts, vast databases, and artificial intelligence has perfectly restored the 2,500-year map of human thought to meet the needs of the 21st-century AI era, something never before experienced in history. Moving forward, we will continue to focus on publishing and educational platforms to strengthen the power of human thought in the age of AI! ───────────────

Future Use of Funding

Production of multilingual editions
Starting with the Korean edition, we plan to sequentially publish multilingual editions in English, Japanese, Chinese, and more. By sharing the language of philosophical concepts and thought with readers worldwide, we will expand the 'philosophical dialogue that began in Korea' to the world.

Investment in follow-up series
Following the philosophy trilogy, we are investing in subsequent projects covering practice, literature and aesthetics, science and mathematics, and history. ZionTalk systematizes the tools of human thought in the age of artificial intelligence.

Establishment of ZionTalk Books Publishing in the United States.
We plan to officially register 'ZionTalk Books,' a U.S. publishing company under the headquarters of Cleon in the United States. This is the first attempt to directly connect Korean thought content to a global platform, and it marks the starting point of an international thinking network encompassing philosophy and artificial intelligence.

FAQ

This book is not intended for specialists. Based on the principle of 'easy, yet profound,' it is designed so that even beginners in philosophy can converse with the giants. Technical terms are minimized, and key concepts are clearly organized. This book proves that detailed explanations actually make things easier.

Q. Do I have to read all three volumes in order?
Each volume can be read independently. You may start with any topic that interests you. However, the three books intersect to create a complete map of thought. If you read all three, you will experience a transformative power in your thinking.

Q. Can I purchase it at bookstores after the funding?
The trilogy is being sold at regular price in bookstores nationwide. However, the transcription note is exclusively released on Wadiz, and the regular price for the general edition in bookstores will increase in the future.

A. Shipping will begin sequentially after the funding is completed and the final payment is made, and it will take 2-3 days depending on the region. Within the first fifteen days of the new year, 180 giants will come to you.
