lematizan el modo en el cual tópicos diversos son hoy atravesados por tendencias transformadoras: modificaciones en los regímenes de producción de la verdad, cambios en las prácticas religiosas, apertura de nuevas posibilidades para la creación artística, reconceptualizaciones ontológicas que cuestionan el antropocentrismo. Por debajo de esta pluralidad de temas subyace una cuestión urgente: deslindar si lo humano ha sido perimido, abandonado y superado, o si, por el contrario, ha logrado traducirse dentro de estos nuevos horizontes. Los ensayos aquí reunidos aspiran a ser justamente eso: exploraciones, pruebas y tentativas que podrían quedar resueltas en sí mismas, o bien funcionar como el punto de partida de otras indagaciones. Estos textos se hacen cargo de la incertidumbre que los motiva y los atraviesa. Pero hay algo que no se resigna en ninguno de ellos: la búsqueda de un camino de reflexión filosófica sustentado en la experiencia del pensamiento conjunto." (Descripción de la casa editorial)

ted by former heroes of Internet, social media and search engine companies, philosophical as well as industrial thought leaders begin to plead for a humane use of digital tools. Yet the term “digital humanism” is a particular terminology that lacks a sound conceptual and philosophical basis and needs clarification still – and this gap is exactly filled by this book. It propagates a vision of society in which digitization is used to strengthen human self-determination, autonomy and dignity and whose time has come to be propagated throughout the world. The advantage of this book is that it is philosophically sound and yet written in a way that will make it accessible for everybody interested in the subject. Every chapters begins with a film scene illustrating a precise philosophical problem with AI and how we look at it – making the book not only readable, but even entertaining. And after having read the book the reader will have a clear vision of what it means to live in a world where digitization and AI are central technologies for a better and more humane civilization."
