    Dr. Leonard Harris: Necro-Being & Plato's Allegory of The Cave - (AoE Ep 11)

    In this episode of Algorithms of Empire, we speak with Dr. Leonard Harris, one of the most influential figures in contemporary African American philosophy, about necro-being, the limits of ethical theory, and the limits of reason itself.Building on his recent lecture, “Necro-Being and the Limits of Ethical Theory,” delivered at the University of Toronto’s Centre for Ethics as part of the Algorithmic Bias Speaker Series, Harris reflects on his concept of necro-being: an approach to racism that foregrounds its material production of premature death, suffering, deprivation, and damaged possibilities for human life. Our conversation also turns to his forthcoming work on the moral imperative against necro-being and what it would mean to construct an ethical response adequate to forms of domination that cannot be reduced to failures of individual intention, prejudice, or rational deliberation.Our discussion then moves from racism and moral philosophy to artificial intelligence. Harris challenges the confidence traditionally placed in reason as the foundation of moral progress, for us to consider what happens when the limitations of human rationality are reproduced—or radically amplified—in artificial superintelligent systems. If reason has never guaranteed moral conduct among human beings, what grounds do we have for assuming that greater computational intelligence will produce wiser or more ethical agents?We were privileged to have Dr. Harris spend his time in a wide-ranging philosophical conversation about racism, death, moral obligation, artificial intelligence, and whether intelligence—human or artificial—is sufficient for confronting the conditions that make necro-being possible.
