Prof. Dr. Toni Loh at the Forum Siegen
The Siegen Forum continues on July 11!
Medical research derives much of its legitimacy from the promise of prolonging life and overcoming disease. In short, it is essentially based on promises of enhancement and control. So-called post- and transhumanist perspectives are particularly concentrated. They promise to overcome the human body as such. In this lecture, Prof. Dr. Toni Loh will take a critical look at such promises.
Prof. Dr. Toni Loh will speak on the topic "Everything curable in humanism reloaded? Visions of the future of trans- and posthumanism".
Forum Siegen: Lecture - Discussion - Exchange
The manifold problems of our time do not allow science to be practiced only in an academic ivory tower. Even if scientific research and enlightenment cannot conjure up patent remedies and concise instructions, they are able to shape many insights and decisions in all areas of society through methodical training, critical questions and conditional information.
Acting in difficult times increasingly requires reflection. The Siegen Forum therefore discusses problems and examines methods that are important for "practice" in politics, business and culture. Representatives of all scientific disciplines will have their say - and listen.
The framework theme "Medicine of the Future", which is also the theme of the Science Year 2026, forms the umbrella for a total of nine events. Exciting focal points from various disciplines will be brought into focus and the view broadened.
The complete program for the semester can be found here, registration is not necessary.
You are welcome to come to Forum Siegen with your friends!
