Fokusgruppe Grundlagen der Digitalitätsphilosophie

Themen: Wir diskutieren die philosophischen Grundlagen der Digitalisierung entlang ihrer Breite von Grundbegriffen bis hin zu komplexen Technologien der KI-Forschung wie Deep Learning. Ziel ist die Darstellung und Analyse der Wechselwirkungen von (menschlichem) Denken, Erleben und Handeln mit digitalen Prozessen im weiten Sinne. Die Diskussionsgrundlage bilden in der Regel 1–2 Schlüsseltexte, die vor den Treffen gelesen werden.

Leitung: Christoph Durt

 

Christoph Durt

Christoph Durt’s philosophical research comprises, on the one hand, the human mind, and, on the other, digital technology. Whereas both sides are often opposed, he studies their interplay and in particular how meaning and experience can be transformed by computational means. He has been Principal Investigator in several interdisciplinary projects on consciousness, self, and AI, funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program and the Volkswagen Foundation. Christoph has taught on a wide range of topics and authors from Ancient Philosophy to the present at Munich University, the University of California, Santa Cruz, the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Vienna. He has received several research and teaching awards, including one for the essay ‘The Computation of Bodily, Embodied, and Virtual Reality’ and another for the essay ‘How the Digitization of our World Changes Our Orientation’ (see www.durt.de).
