Closing Discussion with Akeel Bilgrami and Bernd Scherer
State of Nature in India conference, August 23-25, 2018
How has humanity become objectified and naturalized through the conceptual and technological instruments of modernity? And how can we overcome this categorical divide and envision relational concepts of human subjectivity and action? Wherein lie the progressive, emancipatory affordances of technological innovations, and which latent human traits have they released? In this closing discussion, philosopher Akeel Bilgrami and Haus der Kulturen der Welt Director Bernd Scherer delve deeper into these questions and discuss them with the audience.
