Study Notes
The Intersection of Science, Technology, and the Human Condition
- The rapid development of science and technology raises questions about human life, flourishing, suffering, and death in the 21st century.
- Science & Technology blur boundaries between material, cultural, and religious aspects of human life.
- Human beings are considered divine gifts deserving of respect in Catholic and Muslim perspectives.
- Reason is seen as a means to communicate, seek truth, and care for creation in both Catholic and Muslim viewpoints.
- Science and technology, while positive in principle, can be used for evil purposes just like any human endeavor.
Technology as a Means of Unveiling
- Martin Heidegger, a prominent 20th-century philosopher, emphasized technology's significance in understanding our present time.
- Heidegger's "The Question Concerning Technology" explores the relationship between technology and human existence.
- Science and technology examine aspects of human flourishing:
- The physical world's structure
- The nature of human identity and mystical experiences
- Character development in challenging situations
- The link between scripture and contemporary scientific knowledge
- The concept of biological purpose
The Essence of a Good Life
- The "good life" is a philosophical term referring to the life one desires to live.
- Money is not the defining factor in a good life; it's about living a life of value and meaning.
- Elements of a good life:
- Producing to the best of one's ability
- Developing strong friendships
- Preserving one's culture
- Nurturing spirituality
- Embracing experiences
- Inspiring family and close connections
Technology's Impact on Humanity
- The future of technology raises questions about its influence on individuals, communities, governments, and global society.
- Technology will profoundly reshape our society, economy, values, and lifestyles.
- The rapid pace of technological development redefines the way we work, live, and think.
- We are entering a world increasingly dominated by technology, blurring the lines between reality and science fiction.
- The question is whether we will blindly accept technological dominance by global companies or reclaim autonomy and seek a balanced relationship between technology and humanity.
Examining Human Rights
- Human beings possess inherent rights to be valued, respected, and treated ethically.
- The Philippine Constitution outlines basic rights for Filipino people in Articles III (Bill of Rights) and XIII (Social Justice and Human Rights).
- These rights serve to protect individuals from government or individual/group violations.
- Under a democratic system, there are three categories of human rights:
- Natural Rights: based on philosophy and religion, recognizing inherent human rights like the right to life.
- Statutory Rights: legal rights granted by local and national governments, protecting citizens and enforced by law enforcement.
- Constitutional Rights: rights of citizens to participate in government, encompassing civil, social, economic, and accused rights.
Ethical Dilemmas in Robotics
- Scientists are grappling with the ethical challenges posed by advancements in robotics.
- Safety concerns arise as robots are increasingly used by ordinary people in homes and workplaces.
- Determining responsibility in cases of robot-induced injuries is complex: designer, user, or robot itself?
- Software robots are making financial decisions, raising questions about accountability in case of errors.
- Isaac Asimov's "Three Laws of Robotics" attempt to prevent robots from harming humans:
- A robot must not injure a human or allow harm through inaction.
- A robot must obey human orders unless those orders conflict with the First Law.
- A robot must protect its own existence except when in conflict with the First or Second Laws.
- While these laws seem like good safeguards, implementing them in real robots poses challenges:
- Robots would need to distinguish humans from similar entities.
- Programming such complex laws can be intricate.
- The robot's decision-making in diverse scenarios requires ethical considerations.
