Philosophy of technology in the digital age : The datafication of the World, the homo virtualis, and the capacity of technological innovations to set the World free

Abstract

Disruptive technologies disrupt the World in which we live and act. My hypothesis is that technological innovations themselves constitute the World in a non-anthropocentric and non-determinist manner. This broader understanding of the impact of digital technologies raises critical questions regarding the converge of the physical and the virtual in the digital age. I end with a progressive perspective on the emancipatory potential of disruptive innovations to set the world free, as is needed in times of climate change.
