Bio-Efficiency
This article discusses a concept that institutions from the OECD to the EU increasingly employ in their response to the ecological crisis: The bioeconomy, wherein materials for economic activity would be bio-based and renewable. As a present-day project, the bioeconomy translates the critique of (fossil) carbon into patterns of (material) resource use and (economic) resource allocation, not least through a new valorisation of innovation in the fo…
An interdisciplinary linked-lives approach to individual differences in social behaviour
The Mechanical Turk
As technology advances, numerous interpretations of computer intelligence have arisen since the mid-20th century. As radical form of techno-utopia, posthumanism prophesizes the emergence of the singularity: a critical juncture where artificial intelligence (AI) exceeds human intelligence. Tracing its conceptual origins to the work of Irving Good reveals how the narrative of a superior computer intelligence is shaped by science and by fiction. The…
The future never dies
The article explores the cybernetic utopian ideals of transhumanism and posthumanism, focusing particularly on the concept of the singularity, which incorporates both scientific and religious dimensions. This investigation subsequently leads to an in-depth examination of temporal concepts within the broader discourse surrounding the disenchantment thesis in secular modernity. Drawing on the framework of multiple temporalities proposed by Lorenz T…
Peasant in a Bottle
On the market for quality wine, quality is generally defined by the liquid's connection to a time, space, and person(s) of origin. This connection is achieved through material-discursive versions of terroir. While the consequences of this aesthetic regime have been well-studied, little attention has been given to the artefact through which the connection is enacted: the bottle. This paper, based on fieldwork with small-scale wine producers in Ita…

Review of Philosophische Grundprobleme in der Science Fiction by Holger Nielen
From an Aristotelian Ordo Essendi to Relation
The article raises the question of how the multiplication of topics, turns, and perspectives in the currents of the study of religions can be explained. After the concept of a paradigm shift (Thomas Kuhn) is introduced, the study examines the epistemological consequences of the question What is religion? It is based on analyzing the practice of defining “religion” in German-language encyclopedias of the past three centuries. Surprisingly, the str…

Ethnography at a distance
The research we report on was conducted from our computer desktops. We have not met the people we have studied; they are part of what Eichhorn described as a “textual community”, gathered around the threads of online conversations associated with a website servicing the needs of English-language speakers in Germany. The thread in question started in 2008 with a query from someone about to move to Berlin, seeking advice about the best internationa…
L’homme machine oder die Überwindung und Vervollkommnung des Menschen im Posthumanismus
Vollkommenheit
Das Leiden an der Unvollkommenheit in ihren vielfältigen Formen, das in einer kaum überschaubaren Fülle von Mythen und Bildern weltweiten Ausdruck findet, provoziert ebenso vielfältige kulturelle Visionen und Konstruktionen von Vollkommenheit. Aus dem Bewusstsein seiner Unvollkommenheit heraus sehnt sich der Mensch seit jeher nach Vollkommenheit und entwickelt eine Reihe kultureller 'Anthropotechniken', die ihn diesem Ziel näher bringen sollen. '…
Gaia, God, and the Internet
The question of religious content in the media has occupied many scholars studying the relationship between media and religion. However, the study of recent religious thought offers a promising perspective for the analysis of the cultural perceptions of various media technologies. After the Internet first appeared in American households in the middle of the 1990s, a variety of religious or spiritual interpretations of the new medium emerged. The …
The Good of Wrath
Human cooperation remains a puzzle because it persists even in contexts where traditional theories predict it should not do so (i.e. among unrelated strangers, who never meet again and where reputation effects are absent). The leading explanation argues that cooperation occurs only if non-cooperators are punished. However, punishment is costly, so ‘second-order’ non-cooperators may arise who defect from contributing to punishment, thus unravellin…
