As has been emphasized by several authors (e.g. Ihde, Latour, Verbeek), it is not possible to strictly distinguish between humans and technologies. As human beings, we are always interwoven with technologies in our daily practices. At this conference it is our aim to explore the philosophical consequences of this idea in the domains of epistemology, ethics, and transcendence. If our knowledge claims, moral frameworks, and relation with the unknown are mediated by the contingent presence of technologies, how must we philosophically conceive of this? On top of having 3 expert workshops on these topics, we invite scholars to send in papers about the idea of technological mediation for a more general workshop on November 17th.   General Program (More specific info below): November 10th: Technology and Morality November 16th: Technology and Scientific Knowledge November 17th: Philosophy of Technology and Technological Mediation November 18th: Technology and Transcendence   Confirmed Speakers: Dr. Jan Kyrre Berg Friis (Copenhagen University) Prof. dr.
