Refounding legitimacy towards Aethogenesis

Refounding legitimacy towards Aethogenesis

The fusion of humans and technology takes us into an unknown world, described by some authors as populated by quasi-living species that would relegate us—ordinary humans—to the rank of alienated agents, emptied of our identity and consciousness. I argue instead that our world is woven of simple, though invisible, perspectives, which—if we become aware of them—may renew our ability for making ju...

Refounding Legitimacy Toward a Global Immune System

Refounding and repeating Ways to the new

Towards legitimacy of the solar geoengineering research enterprise.

Mounting evidence that even aggressive reductions in net emissions of greenhouse gases will be insufficient to limit global climate risks is increasing calls for atmospheric experiments to better understand the risks and implications of also deploying solar geoengineering technologies to reflect sunlight and rapidly lower surface temperatures. But solar geoengineering research itself poses sign...

Refounding of the activity concept? Towards a federative paradigm for modeling and simulation

Currently, the widely used notion of activity is increasingly present in computer science. However, because this notion is used in speci c contexts, it becomes vague. Here, the notion of activity is scrutinized in various contexts and, accordingly, put in perspective. It is discussed through four scientic disciplines: computer science, biology, economics, and epistemology. The de nition of acti...
