An examination of the meaning of meaninglessness: why it matters that nothing matters.
Nolen Gertz is universitair docent Toegepaste Filosofie wiens werk zich verdiept in de complexe wisselwerking tussen nihilisme en technologie. Zijn filosofische onderzoek verkent thema's van sociale en politieke filosofie, fenomenologie en existentialisme, vaak puttend uit hedendaagse maatschappelijke kwesties zoals militaire robots en humanitaire drones. Gertz' geschriften bieden kritische analyses van onze moderne wereld, waardoor lezers worden aangezet tot nadenken over de diepere ethische en existentiële implicaties van onze technologische vooruitgang.
An examination of the meaning of meaninglessness: why it matters that nothing matters.
Arguing that the suffering of combatants is better understood through philosophy than psychology, as not trauma, but exile, this book investigates the experiences of torturers, UAV operators, cyberwarriors, and veterans to reveal not only the exile at the core of becoming a combatant, but the evasion from exile at the core of being a noncombatant.
Investigating how human values mediate the design and use of new technologies, the updated edition of Nolen Gertz's Nihilism and Technology explores the ramifications of artificial intelligence. Gertz searches for current meanings of "truth" and "progress" in the age of AI, and what those concepts even mean for our modern digital-driven lives.
