- Summary:
- This thought-provoking book explores the philosophical ideas, from antiquity to today, that influence our understanding of the digital transformation that is ushering in a global network society.Digital transformation is understood as a profoundly philosophical issue, reflecting humanity's ongoing socio-technical evolution. Traditional philosophical issues such as the meaning of being, the nature of knowing, and the place of the autonomous rational subject in modern thought, are challenged and redefined from the perspective of an informational pragmatism. The book presents a philosophy of information, based on a critique of neo-pragmatism from the perspective of actor-network theory. A major revision of pragmatism in the form of informational pragmatism is proposed as a philosophy capable of addressing the fundamental questions of the 21st century arising from the emergence of a global network society and the digital transformation.
