چکیده

This research examines and critiques the ethics of technology from a posthumanist perspective. Posthumanism, as a theoretical framework, challenges traditional human-centered viewpoints and explores the evolving relationship between humans, technology, and ethics. The effort to overcome anthropocentrism and reject the moral superiority of humans is a fundamental characteristic of posthumanism. Posthumanist theories, by emphasizing the connections between humans and non-human entities, including technology, transform our thoughts on the ethics of technology. From a posthumanist viewpoint, we humans are not the only agents in the world; we exist within an intertwined world of human and non-human entities that influence our agency. This research highlights the ideas of Karen Barad, a pioneer of posthumanism, who argues that any research and production of technology constitutes a form of reality production and intervention in the configuration of the world, carrying ethical implications and responsibilities.
