Description
Humanity is facing two great global challenges: climate change and the rise of advanced computer technology. Both have the potential of not just changing our ways of life, but our very understanding of what it means to be a human in the world. How will we as a species change to counter these powerful forces? Can we stop being so self-centered? Might we merge with computers? On thus episode we explore these crises, how humanity is connected to nature, and how we as a species might evolve.
Mark C Taylor is a professor emeritus in the departments of religion at Columbia University and Williams College. He is the author of more than twenty books, the most recent of which is After the Human: A Philosophy for the Future.
