To learn more, or enroll in workshops conducted by Luciana Parisi, please visit icamiami.org/arc.
Luciana Parisi will be discussing the instrumentality of techno-logic. More information below.
If the crisis of the Enlightenment project of emancipation has resulted in the eclipse of philosophical thought and the triumph of unreflective Artificial Intelligence, it is no longer sufficient to denounce the neutralising paradox between technoscientific progress and the end of human reasoning. Instead of overcoming this dialectical tension with a negation of instrumental reason, one shall ask whether the crisis of Western philosophy can be read as the historical origination of an artificial reasoning that advances from within instrumentality, means, technical practices. Here the possibility of a techno-logic - or metaphysics of machines - supplants the teleological view of a self-reflexive image of reasoning with a pragmaticist envisioning of a general artificial intelligence.
