Information Technology
Who are we? And what is our role in the universe? Information technology
is radically changing not only how we deal with the world and make
sense of it, or interact with each other, but also how we look at
ourselves and understand our own existence and responsibilities.
Philosophy Professor Floridi ( @Floridi ) will discuss such impact of
information technology on our lives and on our self-understanding; he
will take us along the Copernican revolution, the Darwinian revolution,
the Freudian revolution right up to speed with the Turing revolution: a
world of inforgs in a global environment ultimately made of information.
Floridi will talk about expanding our ecological and ethical approach
to both natural and man-made realities, in order to cope successfully
with the new moral challenges posed by information technology. Ready for
some philosophy? You bet!
