Rebekka A. Klein
Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg
Rebekka A. Klein is a German philosopher working on the ethics and philosophy of technology, medicine and religion. With Ludger Jansen she edited Seele digital. Mind Uploading, virtuelles Bewusstsein und Auferstehungshoffnung (Verlag Friedrich Pustet, Regensburg, 2022), a collection whose subtitle names its triangle, mind uploading, virtual consciousness, resurrection hope, and whose chapters test whether the digital soul can carry what the religious traditions assigned to an immortal person.
This site covers the collection in the digital immortality under German scrutiny analysis. The site assigns her no position in the substrate debate, because the covered work examines the promise’s cultural and theological structure rather than defending a theory of consciousness. That structure is the part of the uploading debate the technical literature usually misses, and the collection supplies it.
