Techno Humanism? A Debate with Antón Barba-Kay and Jason Crawford

Assume humanity. Assume ethics should be oriented to the value of human beings. Where does technology fit into this picture? Does it advance human flourishing? Or does it distort our teleology?

Agreeing on the basic premise of human centrality, in this live podcast recording at The Crown & Crow (1317 14th St NW, Washington, DC), Antón Barba-Kay (Harvard Kennedy School & Georgetown Law) and Jason Crawford (Roots of Progress Institute) will argue about the foundational question— where does technology fit in human flourishing? Moderated by Samuel Kimbriel (The Aspen Institute).

Doors open at 6:30pm, the discussion with Antón Barba-Kay and Jason Crawford begins at 7:15pm, and as always, the party goes as long as you like.
