An examination of the meaning of meaninglessness: why it matters that nothing matters.
Nolen Gertz è Professore Associato di Filosofia Applicata il cui lavoro approfondisce la complessa intersezione tra nichilismo e tecnologia. Le sue indagini filosofiche esplorano temi di filosofia sociale e politica, fenomenologia ed esistenzialismo, attingendo spesso a questioni sociali contemporanee come i robot militari e i droni umanitari. La scrittura di Gertz fornisce analisi critiche del nostro mondo moderno, spingendo i lettori a considerare le implicazioni etiche ed esistenziali più profonde dei nostri progressi tecnologici.
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.
