On Saturday, March 2, in the concert hall of the Museum of Sound on Pushkinskaya, 10 (entrance from Ligovsky Prospect 53), a round table will be held on the topic "Bioethics and Technological Imagination". The discussion starts at 15:30. Everyone interested is invited to participate.
There is a myth that ethics and imaginations are in opposition to each other. We want to consider them from the other side. Rationality is not meant to block processes. And imagination establishes a new turn of meaning and opens up the perspective of rationality. Some philosophers say that imagination follows ethics. Then we can assume that bioethics is an imaginary scene where the formation of biotechnology, science art, philosophy of technology and a new ontology - ontoethics takes place.
Philosophers, artists are going to discuss the questions: where does the imagination look? why does it look in bio? are there any dangers to that and what are they? does it have emancipatory promises and what are they?
Key participants:
- Herman Preobrazhensky (philosopher and curator)
- Irina Aktuganova (art critic and curator of the project "New Anthropology" in cooperation with the I.P. Pavlov Institute of Philosophy of the Russian Academy of Sciences)
- Elena Aleksandrovna Rybnikova (Doctor of Biological Sciences, Deputy Director of the Institute of Physiology of the Russian Academy of Sciences for Science)
- Dmitry Gusev (philosopher, specializes in ethics)
- Lyudmila Belova (artist, participant of the "New Anthropology" project)
