Blurring Boundaries - Peter Paul Verbeek

“You cannot be against technology. It would be like being against gravity. We are technical beings.” Blurring Boundaries is an exploration of the ever-changing relationships between humans and technology, and between subjects and objects. For example, questions on how we should interact with nature are asked from a point of view that takes nature as something that we can distance ourselves from – like technology. But in reality, the distinctions of where being human ends, and the technology begins, aren’t that clear. Rather, due to new technological developments, they are in constant flux. Even more so because at a fundamental biological level we are technical beings: We need tools in order to maintain ourselves. So when it comes to discussing how new technologies are changing the meaning of what it means to be human – and the ethical issues related to the use of technologies – these questions should not merely address whether we should at all make use of technology, but instead should inquire into the profound relationship we have with it and how technology shapes our world. What are the values at stake when new technologies emerge? And why is it important to question ourselves about the relationship we have with technology? In this extended podcast, Peter-Paul Verbeek will shed light on various topics, ranging from our relationship with technology, robotics, and technology and creativity, to Object Oriented Ontology, Metaphysics, the importance of Philosophy when it comes to questioning established frameworks, and exploring boundaries between Science Fiction and reality.
