DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Motsamai Molefe (University of Fort Hare)\nThis essa
 y considers the moral status of robots in the light of the idea of personh
 ood salient in African philosophy. Specifically\, I aim to consider whethe
 r robots can be objects of moral concern. To do so\, I will first consider
  the place and status of animals in the light of personhood. I will consid
 er moral reasons offered by the ethics of personhood to exclude animals fr
 om the moral community. I will proceed to consider whether robots can have
  moral status in light of personhood. I will conclude by observing that ro
 bots will be excluded from the moral community on more or less the same re
 asons that animals are excluded.\n\nhttps://events.saip.org.za/event/171/c
