The fourth revolution in our self-understandingIn Ruth Hagenbruger & Uwe V. Riss (eds.), Philosophy, computing and information science, Pickering & Chattoo. 2014.Science has two fundamental ways of changing our understanding. One may be called extrovert, or about the world, and the other introvert, or about ourselves. Three scientific revolutions in the past had great impact both extrovertly and introvertly. In changing our understanding of the external world, they also modified our conception of who we are, that is, our self-understanding. The following chapter discusses the fourth revolution.

Artificial agents and their moral natureIn Peter Kroes (ed.), The moral status of technical artefacts. 2014.Artificial agents, particularly but not only those in the infosphere Floridi (Information – A very short introduction.

The post-Westphalian Nation State developed by becoming more and more an Information Society. However, in so doing, it progressively made itself less and less the main information agent, because what made the Nation State possible and then predominant, as a historical driving force in human politics, namely ICTs, is also what is now making it less central, in the social, political and economic life of humanity across the world. ICTs fluidify the topology of politics. They do not merely enable bu…Read more
