[Commlist] CfP Inscriptions 4, n1: Artificial Life, Ethics and the Good Life

Deadline for proposals: 15 September 2020. Full manuscripts due 15 
October 2020.

*Artificial Life, Ethics and the Good Life
*Ethics, the question of how to live right and well, has been one of 
philosophy’s key concerns from its beginnings. In the thought of 
Wolfgang Schirmacher the ethical life is connected to artifice: 
subjected to the event of technology we recognise our ethical being in 
mediated form, and it is through reflecting on this our present 
condition that we can begin regain our composition as ethical subjects.

For our volume 4, n1, Inscriptions, a journal for contemporary thinking 
on art, philosophy and psycho-analysis, seeks essays that reflect on, 
interrogate, and bring new perspectives to the notion of artificial life 
and ethical living in general. Key questions include:

  * How must I compose myself in order to live a good, satisfying life?
  * What is the good life, and what values are relevant to us in our
    present time?
  * How has the figure of the subject been challenged by our
    technological order, and how may we begin to ethically reassess our
    present condition?

Please submit a brief proposal (of up to 300 words) or full-length 
manuscript (of up to 5000 words) through our online platform. Proposals
