Lecture (1st Oct 2018, NYC): What Begins after the End of Enlightenment?

September 25, 2018

Yuk Hui will conduct a lecture for e-flux in New York this October. The title of this lecture is “What Begins After the End of Enlightenment?”. For more information, please refer to the following information and also the website of e-flux at here.

In his recent article “How the Enlightenment Ends” (The Atlantic, June 2018), Henry Kissinger joins the Gegenaufklärer (as well as the Dark Aufklärer) and announces the end of the Enlightenment in view of the rise of Artificial Intelligence. He proposes that this end demands a new philosophy. However, did the Enlightenment really end? What is the relation between the Enlightenment and technology? What comes after its end? This talk attempts to respond to Kissingner’s article by addressing these questions.

 

Yuk Hui is a philosopher based in Berlin. He is the author of three monographs: On the Existence of Digital Objects (University of Minnesota Press, 2016), The Question Concerning Technology in China: An Essay in Cosmotechnics (Urbanomic, 2016), and Recursivity and Contingency (Rowman and Littlefield International, Spring 2019).
