Description
Explore the profound insights in 'Death Machines', a scholarly examination of advanced military technologies and their ethical implications. As warfare becomes increasingly automated and autonomous, this pivotal book delves into the biotechnological rationalities shaping the ethics of modern combat. It raises crucial questions about the moral frameworks guiding the development and deployment of violent technologies. Readers will engage with critical thought that seeks to dismantle the limits imposed by existing perceptions of warfare ethics. The author draws on the philosophies of Hannah Arendt to construct a compelling analysis of the technology-biopolitics-complex. This exploration sheds light on contemporary subjectivities and the perilous moral landscape surrounding political violence today and in the future. A must-read for students, scholars, and anyone interested in the intersection of technology, ethics, and warfare. Dive into this illuminating work that challenges existing frameworks and provokes necessary dialogues about the future of military ethics. Note: Shipping for this item is free.

Description:
As innovations in military technologies race toward ever-greater levels of automation and autonomy, debates over the ethics of violent technologies tread water. Death Machines reframes these debates, arguing that the way we conceive of the ethics of contemporary warfare is itself imbued with a set of bio-technological rationalities that work as limits. The task for critical thought must therefore be to unpack, engage, and challenge these limits. Drawing on the work of Hannah Arendt, the book offers a close reading of the technology-biopolitics-complex that informs and produces contemporary subjectivities, highlighting the perilous implications this has for how we think about the ethics of political violence, both now and in the future. -- .
