In this course
Colebrook is a critical theorist and philosopher working at the intersection of posthumanism, environmental thought, and ontology. The course readings invoke her work to challenge anthropocentric assumptions that underpin both traditional humanism and certain strains of posthumanist thought, particularly around questions of agency, intentionality, and how we conceptualize worlds beyond human reference frames. Her writing appears central to the seminar's broader project of rethinking the philosophical foundations on which AI ethics and machine consciousness debates are typically built.
