If you open up a philosophy article or chapter on your computer, the software you’re using, now updated with various AI features, may present you with something like the following message: “This looks like a long article. Would you like me to summarize it for you?” You may be unlikely to use this feature. You’re skilled at reading philosophy and you understand the value of reading through it…

Last month, it emerged that high schools in Siberia were teaching students an unexpected text as part of “anti-terrorism awareness” lessons— _1984_ by George Orwell. Most Western readers automatically assume the novel’s main protagonist, Winston Smith, is something of a hero for doing his best to resist the totalitarian regime depicted within the book’s pages. In Putin’s Russia, though, Smith is…
