Description
In this lecture, Malabou considers how the discovery of neural plasticity challenges philosophical and political conventions, in particular the belief that philosophy and technoscience are opposed. She explores what happens to a politics of emancipation and resistance when science no longer is the name of the enemy, and she asks what is the future of philosophy in an era of plasticity and epigentics.
