Autorenporträt
Saskia Nagel is professor for Applied Ethics and Ethics of Technology at RWTH Aachen University (Germany) and Associate Professor for Philosophy and Ethics of Technology at University of Twente (Netherlands). With a background in Cognitive Science and Philosophy, she develops approaches to individual and societal challenges in a technological culture, with a focus on the ethical, anthropological, and social consequences of scientific and technological progress. Her interdisciplinary research group explores how new human-technology-relations - as enabled by research in the fields of neuroscience, cognitive science, AI, or data science - influence human self-understanding and the understanding of moral values. She co-authored a position paper by the American Academy of Neurology endorsed by the Child Neurology Society and the American Neurological Association, on pediatric neuro-enhancement. Recent projects investigate questions of autonomy throughout life, responsibility, and trust. Saskia Nagel combines research in applied ethics with philosophy of mind and philosophy and ethics of technology and involves studies on the public understanding of sciences and technological advances.
