Description: The Web as we know it exists thanks to the interplay of many disciplines and schools of thought. Philosophy, as betoken the many references to formal semantics, ontology, the question of identity and meaning, or proper names in the architecture of the Web, has played a major part in its advancement even though too few philosophers are aware of this fact. Our ambition is to shed light on this dynamic in order to foster future collaborations between philosophers, computer scientists and engineers and eventually shape a new discipline with its own research programme.
Hence, PhiloWeb 2010, a joint multidisciplinary effort between University Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne and INRIA that will take place in Paris (France) on Saturday October 16 2010, would like to play a foundational role in helping to define what a genuine Philosophy of the Web would be.
Schedule: A video of Bernard Stiegler reflecting on the very notion of a "philosophy of the Web" will be released before the symposium and serve as its introduction. The symposium itself includes presentations by both scholars in philosophy and computer science and engineers. At the end of the day, an art exhibition will take place ; a way to reexamine the various topics discussed from another point of view.
Programme:
PHILOWEB 2010:
Towards a Philosophy of the Web.
Bernard Stiegler’s talk will be released on the symposium’s Website, before the beginning of the conference.
