Faktor Mensch

Meer over het boek

With the focus topic "The Human Factor", the Jahrbuch Technikphilosophie 2023 aims to investigate on the one hand the manifold arrangements of the deficiency in the technical field (and especially "new" technologies): How do machine worlds, user interfaces, implementation strategies, or even entire large-scale technological ecosystems model, compensate, and even parody "the" human being - that is, "their" version of ourselves? How does technology discriminate? How does it educate? To what extent can it "reduce" the human? On the other hand, it is necessary to take a new look at what "human" actually means in precisely this context, and to reexamine anthropology as part of theories of technology and discourses on technology. Criticism of technology must therefore also be criticism of man.
