Philosophy in the Digital Age: Ontological Understanding of (Human) Being and the World

Digital technologies, which today shape people's lives to a considerable extent, direct us towards new views of the world and encourage questions about how the very foundations of thinking are changing. This is the main topic of the publication Philosophy in the Digital Age: Ontological Understanding of (Human) Being and the World. The book, divided into five chapters, raises the following questions: Are we there? Are we here? Where are we going? What do we have? What do we know and think?

In the first part, the focus is on analyzing classical and contemporary definitions of the concept of being in a time when the clear boundary between the real and the virtual is becoming increasingly blurred. This is followed by a discussion of the relationship between mind and body, which in the contemporary context is gaining new dimensions through the accelerated development of science and the application of new technologies, and cannot be confined to a single discipline but requires an interdisciplinary approach. Despite the redefinition of corporeality, the restlessness of the human being in the encounter with its own finitude remains, which shows that the questions that philosophy deals with throughout its history remain of enduring relevance. The theme of the third chapter: what political form the community should take, how to deal with the power that arises in state apparatuses and what forms of resistance it generates. The sphere of work has also changed significantly, and the key characteristics of work are now defined by disruption, creative destruction, and new forms of exploitation. The previous discussions are the basis for returning to the key question - in what way all this is reflected on philosophy, as well as on the social sciences and humanities in general, and how our relationship to knowledge and theory is being transformed.
