Description

MA Paper: Does technology accommodate thought and reason, to the extent that these are traditionally understood in terms of being intrinsic and necessary to the possibility of moral autonomy? Or does it instead undermine thought and reason, by allowing the perpetuation of its logical process (logos) without disclosing the logic of its system, i.e., without opening itself to the possibility of reflexivity? Putting these two questions together, my claim is that the latter will be the case insofar as technology undermines the possibility of moral autonomy. Furthermore, if moral autonomy is taken for granted in the private sphere, e.g. for technologically related economic benefits or necessities, the political relevance of a ‘public’ will itself erode, and with it many of the liberal and democratic mechanisms that depend on the private/public dichotomy. With this in mind, I will try to show that politics needs technology to shed light on the polis, but immediately thereafter needs the public to assert its political authority on technology so as not to become ensnared by its own web of logic. Politics and technology are essentially related.
