The Dialectics of Digital Humanism
Digital humanism is a normative concept at the heart of which lie ongoing debates about ethics in science and new technologies. It implicitly proposes that we make the digital “human-centric” – for example, by integrating human values in the planning, design, and deployment of digital technologies. This sounds appealing but the initiative is not straightforward due to the ambiguity present since the Enlightenment in the concept of humanism, which has been used not only to justify exclusions and oppression, but also to expand the circle of moral personhood.
