Door pro-Palestijnse demonstraties is het al dagen onrustig bij de Universiteit van Amsterdam (UvA). Peter-Paul Verbeek, rector magnificus aan de Uva, reageerde in Nieuwsuur op de gebeurtenissen en zegt in gesprek te willen blijven met de studenten. Verbeek geeft aan dat de gesprekken moeizaam verlopen, mede door gezichtsbedekking bij demonstranten. “Ik zeg niet dat het een goed of sterk verhaal was, maar ik snap zijn overwegingen wel”, zegt onderzoeksjournalist Bas van Sluis over het Nieuwsuur interview. "Vreedzame protesten werden gekaapt door gewelddadige mensen. Ik denk dat Verbeek zich wel voor de kop heeft geslagen, dat hij niet weggelopen is. Je gaat natuurlijk niet onderhandelen met mensen die een sjaal voor het gezicht hebben en daardoor niet goed verstaanbaar zijn.” Journalist en presentator Frénk van der Linden had het een reële eis van Verbeek gevonden, wanneer hij de demonstranten had gevraagd de sluieringen af te doen om het gesprek goed te kunnen voeren. “Je wil graag weten met wie ik te maken hebt.” Van der Linden vult erop aan dat hij vindt dat Verbeek best eerder had mogen reageren. “Als je ziet hoe het ontvlamt, dan vind ik dit eigenlijk te laat. Het is zo jammer dat dat genuanceerde verhaal nu pas aan bod komt”, zegt Van der Linden. Een eerder gesprek zou volgens hem deëscalerend gewerkt kunnen hebben. Van Sluis denkt dat deze rol niet persé bij de rector magnificus ligt maar bij de politici van ons land. “Ik vind het belangrijk dat we kunnen protesteren, maar wat er bij de UvA gebeurd is, is buiten de perken.”
Het waarborgen van de academische vrijheid, het stoppen van fossiele financiering en het beperken van het aantal internationale studenten: de universiteiten staan onder grote druk. In zijn eerste jaar als rector magnificus van de Universiteit van Amsterdam, kreeg Peter-Paul Verbeek direct een aantal grote dossiers op zijn bord. Vandaag is hij te gast in BNR Zakendoen Macro met Mujagic Elke dag een intrigerende gedachtewisseling over de stand van de macro-economie.

Ron Wakkary is a professor of design at Simon Fraser University's School of Interactive Arts and Technology in Canada. He is also a professor, holding the Chair of Design for More Than Human-Centered Worlds, in the industrial design department at Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands.Ron is the founder of the design research studio Everyday Design Studio (EDS). At EDS, he works with Will Odom and an evolving cast of students to produce multi-disciplinary design research that is highly engaged with the practice and craft of design. For UX designers and industrial designers looking for ideas and inspiration from social sciences, humanities, and philosophy executed in design artifacts, the work from EDS is a fantastic resource.Ron recently published the book Things We Could Design: For More Than Human-Centered Worlds via MIT Press. The book packages his research focused on “post-humanist design” rather than human-centered design, bringing non-human stakeholders like nature, climate, and biological diversity into the focus of design methodology.Transcript: https://designdisciplin.com/ron:: Related Links+ Book: Design Research through Practice by Koskinen et al.: https://geni.us/design-research-thr+ Book: Discipline & Punish by Michel Foucault: https://geni.us/discipline-and-punish+ Everyday Design Studio: https://eds.siat.sfu.ca/+ Book: In Praise of Shadows by Junichiro Tanizaki: https://geni.us/in-praise-of-shadows+ Book: Reinventing Organizations by Frederic Laloux: https://geni.us/reinventing-org+ Book: Staying with the Trouble by Donna Haraway: https://geni.us/staying-with-the-troub+ Book: The Age of Surveillance Capitalism by Shoshana Zuboff: https://geni.us/age-of-surveillance+ Book: The Overstory by Richard Powers: https://geni.us/the-overstory+ Book: The Spell of the Sensuous by David Abram: https://geni.us/spell-of-the-sensuous+ Book: Things We Could Design by Ron Wakkary: https://geni.us/things-we-could-design+ Book: Vibrant Matter by Jane Bennett: https://geni.us/vibrant-matter+ Book: What Things Do by Peter-Paul Verbeek: https://geni.us/what-things-doFull list of related links: https://designdisciplin.com/ron :: Connect with Design Disciplin+ Website: http://designdisciplin.com+ Podcast: http://podcast.designdisciplin.com+ Instagram: http://instagram.com/designdisciplin/+ Twitter: http://twitter.com/designdisciplin/+ YouTube: http://youtube.com/designdisciplin:: Connect with Ron+ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ronwakkary+ Everyday Design Studio: http://eds.siat.sfu.ca/:: Episode Bookmarks00:00:00 Intro00:01:26 Ron's Story00:13:35 Research through Design00:18:54 Ron's Practice00:22:26 The Core Message in Ron's Book00:27:30 How To Put the Book in Practice00:34:45 "Designer as Biography / Force / Speaking Subject / Intensities and Origins"00:51:57 The Scope of Design vs. Other Disciplines00:58:50 "Nomadic Practice"01:21:55 Book Recommendations 01:27:00 What's Next for Ron01:33:00 Closing

On this week's show: How sci-fi writer Kurt Vonnegut foresaw many of today's ethical dilemmas, and 70 years of tunas, billfishes, and sharks as sentinels of global ocean health First up this week on the podcast, we revisit the works of science fiction author Kurt Vonneugt on what would have been his 100th birthday. News Intern Zack Savitsky and host Sarah Crespi discuss the work of ethicists, philosophers, and Vonnegut scholars on his influence on the ethics and practice of science. Researchers featured in this segment: Peter-Paul Verbeek, a philosopher of science and technology at the University of Amsterdam and chair of the World Commission on the Ethics of Scientific Knowledge and Technology David Koepsell, a philosopher of science and technology at Texas A&M University, College Station Christina Jarvis, a Vonnegut scholar at the State University of New York, Fredonia, and author of the new book Lucky Mud & Other Foma: A Field Guide to Kurt Vonnegut's Environmentalism and Planetary Citizenship Sheila Jasanoff, a science studies scholar at Harvard University Next, producer Kevin McLean discusses the connection between fishing pressure and extinction risk for large predatory fish such as tunas and sharks. He's joined by Maria José Juan Jordá, a postdoc at the Spanish Institute for Oceanography, to learn what a new continuous Red List Index using the past 70 years of fisheries data can tell us about the effectiveness and limits of fishing regulations. Finally, in a sponsored segment from the Science/AAAS Custom Publishing Office, Sean Sanders, director and senior editor for custom publishing, interviews Joseph Hyser, assistant professor in the Department of Molecular Virology and Microbiology at Baylor College of Medicine about his use of wide-field fluorescence live cell microscopy to track intercellular calcium waves created following rotavirus infection.

'De Berg spreekt' is een nieuwe podcast-reeks van 1Twente, waarin prominente of andere bijzondere stads- en streekgenoten praten over hun drijfveren en kijk op de wereld. In de eerste aflevering is Peter-Paul Verbeek in gesprek met journalist Ernst Bergboer.
Opvoeden bestaat grotendeels uit het doorgeven en voorleven van normen en waarden. In deze aflevering zoeken wij uit waar de moderne opvoeder zijn normen en waarden op baseert, hoe dat vroeger ging en hoe wij kinderen kunnen voorbereiden op een samenleving vol tegenstrijdige ideeën. We delen onze eigen visie, raadplegen wetenschappelijke bronnen en gaan in gesprek met dr. Bas Levering, wijsgerig en historisch pedagoog.
It is common to think that technology is morally neutral. “Guns don't kill people; people kill people' - as the typical gun lobby argument goes. But is this really the right way to think about technology? Could it be that technology is not so neutral as we might suppose? These are questions I explore today with my guest Olya Kudina. Olya is an ethicist of technology focusing on the dynamic interaction between values and technologies. Currently, she is an Assistant Professor at Delft University of Technology.

Nynke Tromp doet onderzoek naar en geeft les in sociaal ontwerpen en gedragsverandering op onze faculteit, zo coördineert ze het 2e jaars vak Design Project 4 - Design for Society (waar ze ook een boek over heeft meegeschreven). Voor Nynke is ontwerpen zich echt aan het verruimen naar andere domeinen, waarbij de kernvaardigheden van een nieuw perspectief op een vraagstuk ontwikkelen en komen tot originele oplossingen die passen bij wat mensen willen van enorme waarde zijn. Voor het resultaat (de manifestatie) van het ontwerpen gebruikt Nynke de laatste jaren steeds meer het woord interventie, omdat het naast een fysiek product, ook een dienst, een wetsvoorstel of een beleidsvoorstel kan zijn. Het idee hierbij is dat je als ontwerper de complexiteit van vraagstukken zo kan begrijpen dat je ook inziet dat iets anders dan een product - waaronder dus een wetsvoorstel - de oplossing kan zijn. De tip die Nynke geeft is het boek De Daadkracht der Dingen (What Things Do in het Engels), het proefschrift van techniekfilosoof Peter-Paul Verbeek. In dit boek wordt met goede voorbeelden (bijvoorbeeld de magnetron) uitgelegd dat de invloed van producten verder gaat dan alleen het probleem dat ze oplossen. Omdat we met een magnetron eten makkelijk kunnen opwarmen, hoeven we niet meer tegelijk te eten, waardoor een gezin minder makkelijk bij elkaar te brengen is voor een gesprek. Zo'n bredere kijk kan ook een verlammend effect hebben en daarom eindigen we nog met een discussie over de rol van de ontwerper en de manier waarop een ontwerper de complexiteit van het vraagstuk en de consequenties van een oplossing behapbaar kan maken of houden.
In Episode 6 we continue in our series of deep dives into technical and social issues with automation by taking a first principles look at what technology does, along with discussing why that is important for AI and automation systems. To get this grounding we'll look at the book *What Things Do* by Peter-Paul Verbeek.Follow on Twitter: twitter.com/kendallgilesJoin to support the show and for exclusive content, including episode notes and scripts: patreon.com/kendallgiles
Philosophical reflection on technology is not new, it is about as old as philosophy itself. However, as the impact of technology on everyday human life and on society keeps increasing, and new and emerging technologies permeate nearly every aspect of our daily lives, it is crucial that human-technology relationships are studied extensively and understood thoroughly. In this episode of Bridging the Gaps, I speak with philosopher Professor Peter-Paul Verbeek who suggests that human-technology relationships should be studied by focusing on how technologies mediate our actions and our perceptions of the world. Peter-Paul Verbeek is Distinguished Professor of Philosophy of Technology at the Department of Philosophy of the University of Twente. He is chair of the Philosophy of Human-Technology Relations research group and co-director of the DesignLab of the University of Twente. He is also honorary professor of Techno-Anthropology at Aalborg University, Denmark and is chairperson of the UNESCO World Commission on the Ethics of Science and Technology (COMEST). His research focuses on the philosophy of human-technology relations, and aims to contribute to philosophical theory, ethical reflection, and practices of design and innovation. I open this discussion by asking Professor Verbeek why humans are usually worried about new technologies. This is not a new phenomenon; even in ancient Greek, philosophers expressed their concerns about the emerging technologies of their time. We see similar concerns expressed at the time of the invention of the printing press. And now we see similar views being expressed by technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and Robotics. We discuss in detail philosophy of technology, technology ethics, ethics from with-in and the challenges posed by powerful and intelligent technologies of the future. Complement this discussion with Professor Luciano Floridi’s thoughts on Philosophy and Ethics of Information at: www.bridgingthegaps.ie/2020/07/philo…iano-floridi/ And then listen to Dr Karl Frey’s views in “The Technology Trap and the Future of Work” at: https://www.bridgingthegaps.ie/2019/10/the-technology-trap-and-the-future-of-work-with-dr-carl-frey/
Deze week hebben we een gast met wie we gaan praten over ethiek en artificiële intelligentie. Hij is hoogleraar Techniekfilosofie bij de Universiteit Twente, waar hij ook co-directeur van het design lab is. Hij is voorzitter van UNESCO – COMEST, de World Commission on the Ethics of Science and Technology. Zijn onderzoek richt zich op de filosofie van mens-technologierelaties en heeft tot doel bij te dragen aan filosofische theorie, ethische reflectie en praktijken van ontwerp en innovatie. In de muziekrubriek hebben we deze week een song "Titans" van singer-songwriter Leine.
Technology is disrupting our world at unimaginable speed. Its impact on society is often unforeseen, both for good and for bad. In this episode of Old Fox Young Fox, Designer, futurist and author Cennydd Bowles helps us navigate this moral maze together. Questions posed include: Do Tech companies and individuals have any moral or ethical responsibility for the impact of their technologies? How does society protect itself when we have neither the knowledge or technical expertise to understand what's going on? Has the battle already been lost?

What is the philosophy of robotics technology? Can capitalism and socialism integrate for making sure the robots are not going to lead to social inequality? Very intriguing and thoughtful discussion with Prof.Peter-Paul Verbeek, The chairman of UNESCO’s World Commission on the Ethics of Scientific Knowledge and Technology, The philosopher of technology, chair of the philosophy department at the University of Twente. Prof. Peter-Paul was one of the 18 members of this worldwide network of experts studying ethical issues related to science and technology. In this episode, we discussed the philosophy of robotics technology and ethical considerations for shaping the technology and how we can decrease social inequality while enhancing technology and more. I hope you would enjoy this episode.
Tijdens deze 24e editie van De Idee hebben we het over de Mens 2.0 – de hyperintelligente, genetisch kerngezonde mens als resultaat van geavanceerde biomedische technologieën. De één wijst op de enorme mogelijkheden die in het verschiet liggen, de ander op de enorme risico’s die we niet kunnen overzien. Hoe moeten we hier over nadenken? Samen met techfilosoof Peter-Paul Verbeek verkennen we in hoeverre de toepassing van technologie op onszelf ons minder mens maakt of dat ‘menselijk’ een oprekbaar begrip is. Daarnaast belichten we de ethische kant van het debat: welke morele vragen brengen nieuwe innovaties met zich mee, hoe bepalen we wat een verantwoorde toepassing is en welke dilemma’s levert een vervagende grens tussen mens en technologie op? 00:00 Peter Joosten 15:38 Ana Pereira Daoud 24:03 Charlotte de Kluiver 35:15 Peter-Paul Verbeek

Geoengineering, as a response to climate change, raises serious ethical and socio-political issues. Drawing on the latest developments in philosophy and ethics of technology and science, I consider a post-humanist way of analysing such issues. Along with mitigation and adaptation, geoengineering, i.e. "the deliberate large-scale manipulation of the planetary environment to counteract anthropogenic climate change" has become increasingly visible as a third option in response to anthropogenic climate change. Yet, it has also been widely acknowledged that geoengineering - whether its research and development or implementation - will raise serious ethical, socio-political and legal issues. Instead of examining specific ethical issues in the ethics of geoengineering, I shall argue for a specific approach to ethics of geoengineering. Drawing from the latest developments in philosophy and ethics of technology and science and technology studies (STS), I outline a post-humanist virtue ethics, which, I believe, offers an alternative way to analyse ethical issues raised by geoengineering.My argument is based on the view that geoengineering should be understood as large technical systems (LTSs), i.e. large infrastructural and production systems. If such an understanding of geoengineering as LTS is correct, then it immediately raises two problems with the ethical analyses that focus on the decisions about (or, decision-making procedures for) and/or outcomes of geoengineering: firstly, the high degree of uncertainty with respect to the outcomes from LTSs, which is especially true in the case of geoengineering, has challenged the ethical analyses which based their judgments on the outcomes from LTSs. Secondly, as Susan Leigh Starr notes, "[b]ecause infrastructure is big, layered, and complex, and because it means different things locally, it is never changed from above. Changes take time and negotiation, and adjustment with other aspects of the systems are involved. Nobody is really in charge of infrastructure"; Starr's remark highlights the insignificance of individuals' decisions (and intentions) in the context of LTSs. Against this background, Brad Allenby proposes "macroethics" as a different level of ethics that takes systems as the unit of ethical reflection, and focus on the process in LTS's research and development and implementation. Allenby's call for a macroethics, I think, echoes on one hand with a recent shift towards a more distributed sense of morality, and on the other hand a shift towards ethics of design. Here, I argue that virtue ethics provide the best theoretical and normative underpinning of macroethics. Epitomised by the question "how should we live?" - instead of "what is the right decisions and-or actions?" or "what is the best consequence?", virtue ethics is particularly fitting as an ethics for processes. The obstacle for adopting virtue ethics in ethical analyses of geoengineering (or, any LTS), however, is that virtue ethics is largely humanist, and therefore it seems to be inapplicable to LTS such as geoengineering. Yet, I argue that an extension of agency to nonhuman entities in recent research in philosophy and ethics of technology (e.g. Luciano Floridi and Peter-Paul Verbeek) and STS (e.g. Bruno Latour) provides us a valuable opportunity to reconceptualise virtue ethics and develop a virtue-theoretical approach to geoengineering.
“Guns don’t kill people; people do.” That’s a common refrain from the National Rifle Association, but it expresses a certain view of our relations to the things we make that also affects our thinking about the scope of ethics. On this traditional view, human persons are moral agents, and artifacts, or products of technology in general, are just tools; they have no moral significance in and of themselves. In his new book, Moralizing Technology: Understanding and Designing the Morality of Things (University of Chicago Press, 2011), Peter-Paul Verbeek, professor of philosophy at the University of Twente and Delft University, The Netherlands, argues persuasively that this traditional view is no longer tenable. Instead, we need to understand the moral role of technology as one of active mediation, and of ourselves as technologically mediated moral agents. Ultrasound, for example, isn’t just a matter of peeking into the womb; the fetus becomes a potential patient, the womb becomes an environment for moral decisions, and the parents become responsible for making these newly relevant decisions. In general, if “ought” implies “can”, and if what we can do is expanded and conditioned by technology, then the range and nature of moral decisions and actions must also be expanded and conditioned by technology, and the designing of technology itself can be seen explicitly as having an important moral dimension. In Moralizing Technology, Verbeek spells out this new view of the moral relevance of artifacts and some of its implications for moral subjects, technological design, and ethical theory.

“Guns don’t kill people; people do.” That’s a common refrain from the National Rifle Association, but it expresses a certain view of our relations to the things we make that also affects our thinking about the scope of ethics. On this traditional view, human persons are moral agents, and artifacts, or products of technology in general, are just tools; they have no moral significance in and of themselves. In his new book, Moralizing Technology: Understanding and Designing the Morality of Things (University of Chicago Press, 2011), Peter-Paul Verbeek, professor of philosophy at the University of Twente and Delft University, The Netherlands, argues persuasively that this traditional view is no longer tenable.
