  1. The Trouble with Insect Cyborgs.Adam Dodd - 2014 - Society and Animals 22 (2):153-173.
    This paper examines recent developments in the construction of insect cyborgs by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency , a branch of the u.s. Department of Defense, as part of its Hybrid Insect Microelectromechanical Systems project. It takes a sociological approach in order to account for the processes involved in the creation of insect cyborgs, arguing that such creatures should be seen as the outcome of social, as well as technological, conditions. The paper critically reflects on the ethical implications of (...)

In this dissertation, I use historical examples and philosophical arguments to show that the interventionist account of causation constitutes a (...)
