Summary
Uma entrevista com Stefan Lorenz Sorgner: um filósofo metahumanista Una entrevista con Stefan Lorenz Sorgner: un filósofo metahumanista. We need to bear in mind that philosophy has to do with wisdom, with how to lead our lives, and with the question of the good This is what we are doing, if we deal with the wide range of philosophical issues with which trans-, meta-, and critical posthumanist thinkers are concerned. The concept of a person should be a hierarchical one, and should depend on the capacity of suffering of entities, as suffering is morally relevant, whereby we need to develop an empirical means for realizing the intensity of suffering of an entity to develop a reliable way of determining personhood This might not be an approach which is satisfactory in all circumstances, but it is an as-good-as-it-gets ethics, and this is all I am trying to present. I can hardly wait for our posthuman future to occur
