Department of Philosophy Advisory board spring quarter talk and meeting
To get a zoom link, please register, Graduate student speaker, Nicolai Wohns, "The Ethics of Biological Clocks"
The last ten years have seen great advances in the predictive accuracy of biological clocks, also known as 'age estimators.' They have been shown to reliably predict chronological age, risk of aging-related diseases (Alzheimer's disease, cardiovascular disease, cancer, etc.), and risk of all-cause and disease-specific mortality, as well as other variables, such as income level, physical exercise, and vegetable intake. While their potential as diagnostic and prognostic instruments is considerable, these technologies also raise pressing ethical concerns—both within clinical settings and across society more broadly. In this talk, I examine the concept of biological age and explore a range of ethical challenges posed by the use of biological clocks.

Workshop: Christopher Wild (U. Chicago), "Theater and theoria in Hannah Arendt’s Late Thought"
In her last work, the posthumously published Life of the Mind, Hannah Arendt develops a phenomenology of the activities that make up mental life, specifically thinking and willing (the section on judging remained largely unwritten). In order to elucidate thinking (and to a certain extent willing) in its constitutive invisibility she frames it within a phenomenology of what she calls the “world of appearances.” The workshop will examine the role of theoria (the Greek word for contemplation), theater, and theatricality in this phenomenology by closely reading selected excerpts from the Life of the Mind and her Lectures on Kant’s Political Philosophy,” in order to mine it for a generalized theory of theatricality.
