Socio-Technical Epistemology - Judith Simon

Summer School in cognitive Science: Web Science and the Mind Institut des sciences cognitives, UQAM, Montréal, Canada http://www.summer14.isc.uqam.ca/ http://www.isc.uqam.ca/ JUDITH SIMON, Institut fuer Technikfolgenabschuetzung und Systemanalyse (ITAS) Socio-Technical Epistemology OVERVIEW: The increasing pervasiveness of technologies of computation, information and communication not only affect our culture, economy and politics: they shape our epistemic practices: increasing amounts of personal data are used for profiling, information gets personalized in more or less transparent ways, we use crowd-sourced or collaboratively created content in our daily quests for knowledge. These technologies offer new possibilities and challenges both in research and in our everyday lives. My talk will try to shed some light on the impact of the computational on epistemic practices and the challenges this raises for philosophy. We need to develop a socio-technical epistemology, harvesting insights from different disciplines beyond philosophy, such as science and technology studies, cognitive science and web science, to provide frameworks for evaluating as well as guiding the design and governance of socio-technical epistemic systems and practices. Socio-technical epistemology can have positive repercussions for these neighbouring disciplines.
