Is There a Need for Reciprocity in Relationships of Hate?
The relationship of hatred is the opposite of love. But it seems to me, at least in my everyday experience of hatred, that you can hate things without them hating you back.

Episode notes
Can we move beyond the Aristotelian account of friendship when thinking about our relationships with robots? Can we hate robots? In this episode, I talk to Helen Ryland about these topics. Helen is a UK-based philosopher. She completed her PhD in Philosophy in 2020 at the University of Birmingham. She now works as an Associate Lecturer for The Open University. Her work examines human-robot relationships, video game ethics, and the personhood and moral status of marginal cases of human rights (e.g., subjects with dementia, nonhuman animals, and robots).
