Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Who are we, and how do we relate to each other? Luciano Floridi, one of the leading figures in contemporary philosophy, argues that the explosive developments in Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) is changing the answer to these fundamental human questions. As the boundaries between life online and offline break down, and we become seamlessly connected to each other and surrounded by smart, responsive objects, we are all becoming integrated into an "infosphere". Personas we adopt in social media, for example, feed into our 'real' lives so that we begin to live, as Floridi puts in, "onlife". Following those led by Copernicus, Darwin, and Freud, this metaphysical shift represents nothing less than a fourth revolution. "Onlife" defines more and more of our daily activity - the way we shop, work, learn, care for our health, entertain ourselves, conduct our relationships; the way we interact with the worlds of law, finance, and politics; even the way we conduct war. In every department of life, ICTs have become environmental forces which are creating and transforming our realities. How can we ensure that we shall reap their benefits? What are the implicit risks? Are our technologies going to enable and empower us, or constrain us? Floridi argues that we must expand our ecological and ethical approach to cover both natural and man-made realities, putting the 'e' in an environmentalism that can deal successfully with the new challenges posed by our digital technologies and information society. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR007831305

Condition: Como nuevo. : En 'La Cuarta Revolución', Luciano Floridi explora cómo el desarrollo de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC) está transformando nuestra comprensión del mundo y de nosotros mismos. A medida que la línea entre lo online y lo offline se desdibuja, nos integramos en una 'infosfera' donde las TIC se convierten en fuerzas ambientales que moldean nuestra realidad. Floridi plantea preguntas cruciales sobre cómo asegurar que aprovechamos los beneficios de estas tecnologías y cómo abordar los riesgos implícitos, argumentando que debemos expandir nuestro enfoque ético y ecológico para abarcar tanto las realidades naturales como las creadas por el hombre.
