  1. 1. I am because we are : Ethical consequences of agential realism

    University essay from Södertörns högskola/Filosofi

    Keywords : Karen Barad; Agential Realism; agentisk realism; responsibility; response ability; ethics; metaphysics; Democritus; agency; ai; global village; small world theory; consumption;

    Abstract : Within the interdisciplinary field of new materialism Karen Barad’s theory of agential realism deconstructs our current euro-western metaphysical perception of the world and our existence within it, to then re-build an understanding based on relatively new findings within quantum physics. In this thesis I try to recreate Barad’s theory to see what ethical consequences might come from it. READ MORE
