Today is an age of ecogical crises: Biodiversity loss, climate change, plastic glut, loss of food security. Because these crises are clearly caused by human life and action for the first time since human existence, the name “Anthropocene” has been proposed for this age. Whether and to what extent the anthropocene requires a fundamentally different or new ethics is the focus of this seminar. Its concrete theme changes each time it is held. In the autumn semester of 2025, the focus will be on the potential and risks of new technologies in the Anthropocene. Can technologies such as geoengineering and artificial intelligence help us address environmental challenges? Or do they pose a threat to nature themselves? |
