The research project will be based on three hypotheses: (a) From a theoretical point of view, the hypothesis is that the idea of nature-oriented technologies can be found early in philosophical reflections on technology, but that it is only in the present age that it has acquired a prominent importance \u2013 on the one hand with regard to the technical possibilities of imitation, especially in the fields of biomimetics and artificial intelligence, and on the other hand with regard to the need for sustainable solutions oriented towards nature. (b) This implies a second practical-normative hypothesis: in the present age, technical orientation towards nature is often accompanied by practical-normative assumptions, namely that these technologies offer \u2018better\u2019 solutions compared to \u2018traditional\u2019 technologies. (c) Finally, this project assumes that nature-oriented technologies, and especially AI systems, tell us something about the relationship between nature and technology in general. They help to learn something in theoretical and practical-ethical terms regarding the nature-technology relationship as a whole and to fundamentally rethink traditional anthropocentric hierarchies.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<div class=\"[&amp;&gt;*]:bl-relative last:[&amp;&gt;*.bl-absolute]:bl-absolute [&amp;&gt;*]:bl-z-20 last:[&amp;&gt;*]:bl-z-10 bl-relative bl-overflow-x-clip [.wp-block-ufr-section_&amp;]:bl-overflow-x-visible bl-bg-transparent bl-text-inherit dark:bl-bg-transparent dark:bl-text-inherit alignfull wp-block-ufr-section has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-ufr-section-is-layout-constrained\">\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"bl-absolute bl-inset-0 bl-w-full bl-h-full bl-pointer-events-none bl-mt-0\">\n\t\t\t<div\n\t\t\tclass=\"bl-absolute bl-origin-center\n\t\t\t\tbl-w-96\t\t\t\tbl-top-[50%] -bl-translate-y-[50%] bl-left-[50%] -bl-translate-x-[50%]\t\t\t\t\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg\n\twidth=\"100%\"\n\tviewBox=\"0 0 64.5 64.5\"\n\tfill=\"none\"\n\txmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"\n\taria-label=\"\"\n\tclass=\"bl-relative bl-block dark:bl-hidden bl-w-full\"\n\trole=\"img\">\n\t<title><\/title>\n<linearGradient\n\tid=\"4MGNZ5FCER\"\n\tx1=\"50%\" y1=\"100%\"\n\tx2=\"50%\" y2=\"0%\">\n\t<stop\n\t\toffset=\"0%\"\n\t\tstop-color=\"#f5c2ed\"\n\t\tstop-opacity=\"1\" \/>\n\t<stop\n\t\toffset=\"100%\"\n\t\tstop-color=\"#f5c2ed\"\n\t\tstop-opacity=\"0\" \/>\n<\/linearGradient>\n\t<path\n\t\td=\"m32.25,64c17.53,0,31.75-14.21,31.75-31.75S49.78.5,32.25.5.5,14.71.5,32.25s14.21,31.75,31.75,31.75\"\n\t\tstroke-width=\"2px\"\n\t\tvector-effect=\"non-scaling-stroke\"\n\t\tfill=\"url(#4MGNZ5FCER)\" \/>\n<\/svg>\n<svg\n\twidth=\"100%\"\n\tviewBox=\"0 0 64.5 64.5\"\n\tfill=\"none\"\n\txmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"\n\taria-label=\"\"\n\tclass=\"bl-relative bl-hidden dark:bl-block bl-w-full\"\n\trole=\"img\">\n\t<title><\/title>\n<linearGradient\n\tid=\"oNOzRCUVfL\"\n\tx1=\"50%\" y1=\"100%\"\n\tx2=\"50%\" y2=\"0%\">\n\t<stop\n\t\toffset=\"0%\"\n\t\tstop-color=\"#000149\"\n\t\tstop-opacity=\"1\" \/>\n\t<stop\n\t\toffset=\"100%\"\n\t\tstop-color=\"#000149\"\n\t\tstop-opacity=\"0\" \/>\n<\/linearGradient>\n\t<path\n\t\td=\"m32.25,64c17.53,0,31.75-14.21,31.75-31.75S49.78.5,32.25.5.5,14.71.5,32.25s14.21,31.75,31.75,31.75\"\n\t\tstroke-width=\"2px\"\n\t\tvector-effect=\"non-scaling-stroke\"\n\t\tfill=\"url(#oNOzRCUVfL)\" \/>\n<\/svg>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:128px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>University of FreiburgPhilosophy, Ethics Early Career FellowYoung Academy for Sustainability ResearchOctober 2024 &#8211; September 2027 Member of the Young Academy for Sustainability ResearchOctober 2024 &#8211; September 2027 E-Mail: philipp.hoefele@frias.uni-freiburg.de Curriculum Vitae Dr. Philipp H\u00f6fele is a postdoctoral research fellow within the framework of the \u201cYoung Academy for Sustainability Research\u201d (YAS) since October 2024.
