摘要

摘要：本文主张在方法上更加多样化地寻找地外智慧（SETI）和研究宜居的系外行星，这可能有助于新兴的科学和人文学科的关键宜居性研究领域。无论是否与外星人接触，这一努力都与改变家中的另类概念以及正在进行的使地球非殖民化并使其更适合居住的工作有关。我考察了康德作品中对外星人进行哲学思考的历史努力，最后反思了蒋短篇小说《大沉默》中人类、非人类动物和外星人之间接触的比喻

Critique of Alien Reason: Toward a Critical Interplanetary Humanities

Abstract:This essay argues for a more methodologically diverse search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) and study of habitable exoplanets that might contribute to the emergent field of critical habitability studies across the sciences and humanities. Whether or not contact is made with extraterrestrials, this effort is implicated in changing concepts of otherness at home and the ongoing work to decolonize Earth and make it more inhabitable. I examine historical efforts to think aliens philosophically in the work of Kant, to conclude with a reflection on the trope of contact between humans, nonhuman animals, and aliens in Ted Chiang’s short story “The Great Silence.”
