Question

debate on humans are no more humane​

Answer 1

Answer:

The second International Knowledge and Discourse Conference, held

at the University of Hong Kong in June 2002, was the forum for the

long-awaited debate between Bruno Latour and Steve Fuller. Bruno

Latour counts beyond two. He places the blame for the emphasis in

academia on the subject-object distinction on Kant. Latour wants aca-

demics to acknowledge that things act, and suggests we look at other

traditions, e.g. the Chinese, for alternatives to the subject-object

dichotomy. Steve Fuller concentrated on the moral project of science,

which is to draw a distinction between the human and the non-human

and, to highlight the fact that, as the culmination of the sciences, social

science has a particular responsibility to make this distinction. He

accused Bruno Latour of evading the moral issue. The debate can be

read as a reiteration of the postions of Bruno Latour and Steve Fuller

on the question of heterogeneity at the theoretical level, but it did not

address the topic at the practical or research level.
