Philosophy in digital age

Abstract

This research examines the role and relevance of philosophy in the digital era, characterized by rapid developments in information and communication technology. The study investigates how digital transformation influences contemporary philosophical thought and, conversely, how philosophy can provide critical insights into digital phenomena. Through literature analysis and in-depth interviews with philosophers and technology experts, this research identifies three main areas where philosophy and the digital world interact: the ethics of artificial intelligence, epistemology in the post-truth era, and the ontology of virtual reality. The findings indicate that philosophy plays a crucial role in framing and addressing fundamental questions arising from the digital revolution, while digital technology simultaneously opens new dimensions for philosophical exploration. This study concludes that a more intensive dialogue between philosophy and technology is needed to address the challenges and opportunities in the digital era.
