I’ve written a short piece in which I reflect, with the help of Günther Anders, on the status of human life in increasingly technified and desolate times. opiniojuris.org/2024/03/14/dev…

@ElkeSchwarz Yes!

You see, Anders' notion of Promethean Shame as a consequence of becoming subservient to the latest technologies we produce is not merely about making the human obsolescent, but rather about devaluing that which we understand human life to be.

Looking forward to my copy of the forthcoming @HurstPublishers volume on the future of war, edited by @TimSweijs and @jmichael424. Delighted to be among such a prominent field of scholars and to see the late Chris Coker as the afterword. hurstpublishers.com/book/beyond-uk…
