ABSTRACT

The 4th industrial revolution of 21st centuryis disposed to harm the autonomy of the human subjects if not restricted at all. Though humanities of the past have been humanities largely of understanding of the classics for the purpose of cultivating the minds of free people in a given order of the societies, humanities for the future are expected to be preemptive humanities in which robots are restricted to be helpers for humans. Toward such a goal, this paper tries to argue for three theses, nalely, that robots cannot play, unable to enjoy, and they can work, able to calculate; that humans can play, enjoying themselves; and that plays are activities which the human history largely has dreamt to achieve as expressions of real freedom.
