  1. Theater of the Departed: A Conceptual Framework for Chatbots of the Dead.Amy Kurzweil & Daniel Story - forthcoming - Ergo: An Open Access Journal of Philosophy.
    Chatbots of the dead are chatbots designed to converse in ways that resemble specific dead people. We argue that chatbots of the dead are continuous with representations found in art, like memoir and theater, and function as props that mandate and prompt imaginal interactions with the deceased. We proffer a framework for conceptualizing chatbots of the dead, inspired by an analogy to participatory theater, according to which chatbots are thought of as actors that have trained on character sketches in order (...)

  5. The Last Hand You Hold: Deathbed Coherence and the First-Personal Ethics of Dying.Sai Batchu - manuscript
    This paper introduces deathbed coherence, a terminal manifestation of ethical coherence, defined as the firstpersonal alignment between an agent’s life and their diachronic evaluative commitments, grasped in lucid retrospection at the end of life. It argues that such coherence is ethically significant even in the total absence of external recognition, narrative closure, or social consequence. Drawing on work in moral psychology, practical identity theory, and the philosophy of death, the paper contends that the first-personal, private nature of deathbed coherence does (...)

  9. Strategies for Colonizing Death: The Online Dead, Griefbots, and Transhumanist Dragons.Raquel Ferrández - 2025 - Religions 532 (16):1-14.
    Digital immortality and transhumanist longevity proposals are currently researched and debated independently. This essay claims that both ideas represent two sides of the same cultural denial of death, reconceptualizing them as interconnected forms of thanato-colonialism. The first form includes the digital immortality industry, in both its passive and active versions. Interpreted from the framework of data colonialism, digital immortality represents a masterful maneuver, guaranteeing that the dead can continue to contribute to the extractive logic of this new economy by endlessly (...)

  26. Moral dilemmas and slow codes.Parker Crutchfield - 2025 - Bioethics 39 (4):359-367.
    Slow codes—insincere attempts at resuscitation—are widely regarded in medicine and medical ethics as morally impermissible. My goal here is to enrich this special issue on the slow code with an argument for the permissibility of slow codes that is rooted in moral psychology. Specifically, if we take seriously the results from moral psychology, the slow code is not only permissible, it is often the best option. The context of the decision about whether to perform a slow code is analogous to (...)

    what really needs to remain from the text at the end of the day is that which contains all there is to know about how to live the end (The Final Text). The most effective technique of acceleration to the summit of history is to forget all that needs to be forgotten. Perhaps languages must compete and merge for unification. One thing that for sure has to go is that who wrote what and when. Once the author is physically dead, (...)

  31. Be Fruitful, but Do Not Multiply.Nathaniel Stagg - forthcoming - Faith and Philosophy.
    Recently, Kenneth Himma (2010) argued that salvific exclusivism, some common beliefs about Hell, and a plausible moral principle entailed anti-natalism. Himma is on to something. But given the dialectic between Himma and a staunch critic, Shaun Bawulski (2013), I’ll provide a stronger version of Himma’s argument that allows us to discard a commitment to salvific exclusivism and satisfactorily respond to some of Bawulski’s strongest objections. In this paper, I’ll argue that some common beliefs about Hell, a risk-averse decision principle, and (...)

While there are a number of those who hold that each human person is identical with a human animal – ‘animalists’ – most of these are not hylomorphists. One could worry that hylomorphism contributes little unique to debates about personal identity, collapsing into either a form of property (...)

    The Prosecutor in Camus’ novel claims to have peered into Meursault’s soul but found nothing human in there. But the nothingness attests to Meursault embodying something like a musical instrument through which the world plays its music. Meursault does not initiate anything that in the presence of standing conditions causes a change in environment—aside from physical needs which are also immensely flexible and dependent on existing circumstances. He himself constitute the standing conditions awaiting external factors to cause any change. Meursault’s (...)

Crippled by abdominal pain, Junger was rushed to the hospital by ambulance. Once there, he began slipping away. As blackness encroached, he was visited by his dead (...)

Of slightly less urgency is of course (...)

    Critics have raised many moral and legal concerns about posthumous digital avatars. Here my focus instead falls on whether they are likely to enable the bonds with the dead that users apparently yearn for. I conclude that though posthumous avatars can have short-term therapeutic benefits in replicating “habits of intimacy” with the dead, users’ expectations for sustaining long-term bonds with the deceased via posthumous avatars are unlikely to be fulfilled. Posthumous avatars are unlikely to foster the construction of valued memories (...)
