Converging new technologies, human being and education
Join this event to hear Vasco d’Agnese discuss the intersection of bio and tech and how this challenges our understanding of human being, life and education.
Converging new technologies, human being and education
01 Nov 2023, 17:30 – 19:15
Converging new technologies (especially biotechnology and ICT) have reshaped the interplay between human beings and technics, blurring the lines between organic/inorganic, exterior/ interior and organism/machine.
What human figure is taking shape with this neuro-bio-technology? What education will emerge from this rupture? Vasco will draw on Heidegger and Stiegler to consider the conception of life and human being such transformations imply, and its potential impact on education.
This in-person event will be particularly useful for those interested in the philosophy of education, Heideggerian philosophy and the relationship between technology and human being.
