Species Extinction and the Role Humans Play in it | Craig Condella | TEDxSalveReginaU

The distinction of certain species and what humans have to do with that. It has been found that the impact of humans on this planet is huge and that the extinction of certain species might be connected to that. Dr. Craig A. Condella, a graduate of Fordham University, is an Associate Professor at Salve Regina University in the Departments of Philosophy and of Cultural, Environmental, and Global Studies. He is a Faculty Fellow in the Pell Center for International Relations and Public Policy and teaches regularly in the Humanities Doctoral program. His primary research interests are in the fields of environmental ethics, the philosophy of science and the philosophy of technology. His work in the philosophy of science has centered on evolution, exploring both the philosophical implications of human evolution as well as the scientific credibility of Darwin’s theory in contrast to theories of creationism and intelligent design. Finally, his work in the philosophy of technology, though rooted in Heidegger’s assessment of modern technological being, has more recently incorporated the works of Bernard Stiegler and Andrew Feenberg in considering how new technologies – such as the iPod and Facebook – are fundamentally transforming our relationships with each other and our perception of our own selves. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
