FRIAS Project
Digitalization – also an Anti-kantian Experiment?
To philosophically deal with the complex phenomena of the megatrend called digitalization presupposes a thorough analysis of the effects digitalization has on the core components constituting occidental thinking. It is not so much the explicit philosophy as expressed in canonical writings but rather that what is influencing the thinking and the actions of the subjects behind their backs without them even knowing it: that what is taken for granted in their implicit philosophy. The main question is whether and in how far digitalization is influencing, changing or even experimentally completely abrogating these core components of implicit philosophy. Having previously dealt with the implicit platonism and implicit cartesianism as well as with the respective anti-platonic and anti-cartesian experiments, in my FRIAS project I will be pondering the question whether digitalization could also be considered an anti-Kantian experiment. Following Kant’s famous four questions I will be suggesting a new type of reflecting the relation between transcendental and empirical ways of thinking with respect to epistemology, ethics, and aesthetics. It remains to be seen whether this then will also result in aspects of a new anthropology.
