Interview on the Ethics of Mapping Slums

I had the wonderful opportunity to interview Michael Nagenborg and Isaac Oluoch on their work in the ethics of mapping slums. The transcript and the video are published in the inaugural issue of the Philosophy of the City Journal, Philosophies of the City.

Some of the questions we discussed are: How is the use of artificial intelligence changing the practice of mapping deprived living areas? What does it mean for inhabitants and urban planners that machines are participating in the interpretation of spaces? What can philosophers contribute to such issues?

Wittgenstein and Dostoevsky

We are celebrating the centenary of Ludwig Wittgenstein’s Tractatus logico-philosophicus (published 1921) and the bicentenary of Fyodor M. Dostoevsky’s birth (born 1821).
This video is my tribute to both. I aim to show that there is more that connects these thinkers than accidental numbers. The video is based on Chapter 1 of my book.
