The Ethics of Transhumanism from the Perspective of Gilbert Ryle Monist Ethics: Ambiguities and Prospects

Mardohar Batu Bornok Simanjuntak — 2023-12-30

Transhumanism attempts to overcome human limitations through the use of technology, such as nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, and genetic modifications. In the monist ethical perspective, humans are considered complex material entities, and consciousness is understood as a product of the physical and chemical interactions in the brain with various other parts of the body. The problem is that with such artificial revolutions, ethical foundations based on corporeal limitations become irrelevant. Gilbert Ryle questions Platonistic dispositions that overly rely on reduction with the consequence of extractive knowledge rather than abstract knowledge. Plato's line of thought is then strengthened by Cartesian dualism, which, when applied in a monist perspective, can be reduced to an extraction of brain performance. Ryle proposes an abstraction that allows for the interaction between elements to form a unified understanding of the complex. Based on Ryle's thinking, a study of monist ethics can offer a thoughtful approach to constructing an ethical framework that aligns with the transhumanist era's revolution.

Yovinus Andinata — 2024-01-16

The focus of this research is to explore the concept of man according to Dayak Wehea in the light of Martin Buber's philosophy. Thus, the data mining and research site are centered on the Wehea Dayak Tribe. This research departs from the author's awareness of the noble cultural values contained in customs, which in the course of time began to be eroded by the currents of time. In the midst of this modern era, the values of local wisdom are starting to be neglected and many local people do not understand the values and meaning behind these customs and culture. Departing from this phenomenon, this research attempts to explore and document local wisdom values specifically regarding the concept of humans as relational creatures as promoted by Martin Buber. The methodology used in this research is a qualitative method through literature study by processing existing data. Apart from that, to ensure the authenticity of the writing regarding the customs of the Wehea Dayak Tribe, interviews were also conducted with resource persons who are traditional leaders who understand and still implement these customs. From the research results, it was found that the concept of humans as relational creatures as promoted by Martin Buber is actually pervasive and manifested in the life and culture of the Wehea Dayak Tribe, specifically this conception is manifested in traditional birth, marriage and death ceremonies.

Tubuh dan Politik: Perspektif Feminis Iris Marion Young

Silvester Kanisius Laku — 2024-01-18

This article explores the thoughts of one of contemporary feminist political figures, Iris Marion Young of the body, as well analyzing the dynamics of power, inequality, and experiences of social, cultural, and political alienation. Young states that the body transcends its physicality, it emerges as a locus of politics. Power, he says, operates on the body through social norms, cultural expectations, and policies, shaping the way individuals understand and experience their bodies. These norms, depicted as sources of inequality in bodily experience, contribute to the establishment of socio-political hierarchies in society. Understanding the potential and capacity of the body has a significant political influence in determining the existence of women within the framework of society. This paper aims to describe and analyze Young's concept of feminist politics and highlight its political implications regarding the role of women in society. This research begins with the assumption that, through self-transcendence and understanding the body's capacity to resist immanence, women can assert their existence in society. Rooted in the belief that, as political subjects, all humans are inherently equal, Young challenges traditional paradigms of social and political roles, offering a radical perspective on the body and the self-empowering capacity to live with others. To achieve this goal, the author uses a literature review methodology, emphasizing elements of philosophical research methods such as hermeneutics, description, inductive and deductive analysis, as well as analysis of the coherence of Young's ideas. This article contributes to the ongoing discourse on feminist philosophy, offering a comprehensive exploration of Young's influential thinking on the political dimensions of the body and its implications for women's roles in society.
