SUMMARY:FAH/DPHIL Work-in-progress Seminar - "The Thought of Germany and The Reality of France: In Memory of Bernard Stiegler" by Mr. Li Renjie
DESCRIPTION:Microsoft Teams: https://go.um.edu.mo/ptupr7d5 \n  \nAbstract \nIs there such a thing as a French philosophy of technology? What drew Bernard Stiegler’s attention to the question of technics\, viz.\, its constitutive role to human beings? What prompted him\, in the first volume of Technics and Time\, to engage a domain that had long remained repressed\, unexplored\, or even unthinkable in the history of philosophy? In this presentation\, I will trace the concept of technics as memory in Stiegler’s thought through his appropriation of German philosophy\, especially Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger\, in dialogue with Plato and the French archaeologist and paleoanthropologist André Leroi-Gourhan. From there\, I analyze how the technical aporia provides a dual foundation for Stiegler’s philosophical architecture. Finally\, this presentation considers how\, and to what extent\, philosophy and art\, in Stiegler’s view\, can respond to the disproportion between technics and organs. \n  \nBio \nRenjie Li is currently a PhD candidate in the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies at the University of Macau (advised by Qingjie James Wang). His research interests focus on Franco-German philosophy (esp.\, Gilbert Simondon\, Bernard Stiegler\, and Martin Heidegger)\, philosophy of technology\, and digital art. Li has published in Leonardo\, Philosophy East & West\, and Balkan Journal of Philosophy. He is the Chinese translator of《機器與愛欲：許煜北藝大演講集》[Machine and Eros] (Taipei National University of the Arts Press\, 2026\, co-translated)\,《後歐洲》[Post-Europe] (Guangxi Normal University Press\, 2026)\, and《在機器的邊界思考》[Thinking at the Boundaries of Machines] (Guangxi Normal University Press\, 2025\, co-translated).

SUMMARY:FAH/DPHIL Work-in-progress Seminar - "From Face to Facebook: A Comparative Study on Face and Identity" by Mr. Chiang Hio Fai
DESCRIPTION:Microsoft Teams: https://go.um.edu.mo/ptupr7d5 \n  \nAbstract \nFace is often treated either as a static cultural trait of Chinese society or as a minor sociological concept describing politeness and reputation. This dissertation argues that such views fail to explain how Face changes across historical conditions and why it remains existentially significant in contemporary life. The study examines how Face operates across shifting regimes of recognition. \nUsing Hans Georg Moeller and Paul D’Ambrosio’s distinction between sincerity\, authenticity\, and profilicity\, the dissertation traces how Face is reconfigured as identity moves from Confucian role based orders\, through modern authenticity discourse\, to contemporary profilic conditions. Under sincerity\, Face validates role commitment; under authenticity\, it becomes a site of tension rather than disappearance; under profilicity\, Face is reorganized around profile based recognition\, validation by the general peer\, and second order observation. \nDrawing on classical texts\, modern Chinese intellectual history\, and contemporary case studies\, the dissertation shows that Face persists not despite these transformations\, but through them. Face thus names not merely a tradition\, but a way of making sense of how personhood is organized when profile precedes essence. \n  \nBio \nChiang Hio Fai is a PhD student in the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies. His research interest is Daoism\, Media Philosophy\, and Pop culture.

SUMMARY:FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – "Dementia\, Digital Doppelgängers\, and Transformative Experiences" by Prof. Rand Hirmiz\, Singapore Management University\, Singapore
DESCRIPTION:Microsoft Teams: https://go.um.edu.mo/7mnk1eav \n  \nAbstract \nThere has been a longstanding debate in the bioethics literature (often referred to as the then-self/now-self debate) over how to respond in cases where dementia patients’ current wishes conflict with their prior advance directives. Recently\, there has been a rise in discussions over what are called “digital doppelgangers” and personalized patient preference predictors (LLMs that use patients’ emails\, text messages\, blog posts\, social media posts\, voice notes\, and similar information to create an LLM that can simulate their way of thinking\, speaking\, and in the context of medical decision-making\, accurately represent their values and preferences). The concept of digital doppelgangers and personalized preference predictors adds a whole new dimension to the then-self/now-self debate. In this paper\, I argue that if digital doppelgangers are capable of adapting in ways similar to how the patient would have adapted to new circumstances\, this would allow them to account for transformative experiences in ways that the then-self couldn’t have anticipated\, while being able to communicate the underlying reasons behind the change in preferences in ways that the now-self cannot. \n  \nBio \nDr. Rand Hirmiz is an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Singapore Management University. She earned her PhD in Philosophy from York University (Toronto\, Canada) in 2024\, and an MA in Philosophy from McMaster University (Hamilton\, Canada) in 2018. Her research focuses on the intersection of AI ethics and healthcare\, with a particular interest in how artificial intelligence can be integrated into medicine without compromising the core values of medical practice.
