The Black Box: Methods

33539
Centerpiece: The contemporary Posthuman condition

Fiction focusing on Vitalist materialism and technologically mediated society
-> Methods:
  1. Bottom up ethics: one that is not authorized, but embedded.
  2. A new manifesto/laws inspired by Asimov's laws
    1. Point of project: Their Fallibility, Provability (or lack thereof) and Limits
  3. To Illustrate and challenge the application of reasoning to ethics
    1. Discuss other foundations for developing ethics.
    2. Use these applications in the short story.
  4. I want to contrast the humanist, anti-humanist and posthumanist views on machine ethics. This inspiration comes from Verbeek's humanist    principle of contemporary technologies- technological tools as agents for human decision making. But the fiction short story I am writing is going to ultimately focus on the Post-humanist view on machine ethics- using MacCormack's "Posthuman ethics" as a guideline for bottom-up ethics.
    1. Character and user development in plot becomes conditioned- to steer away from human subjectivity.
    2. This is where Vitalist Materialism comes into play.
