The significant changes that have dominated the social and the
scientific world over the last thirty years have brought about
upheavals and critical re-appraisals that have proved quite
positive in fostering 21st century thought. This interdisciplinary
collection of state-of-the-art essays offers innovative and
thought-provoking insights concerning contemporary philosophical
and cultural reflection on the nature-culture interaction. Starting
from the assumption that the binary opposition between the two
terms has been replaced by a continuum of the two, the volume
explores both the terms of this new interaction, and its
implications. Technology occupies a central place in the shift
towards a nature-cultural continuum, but it is not the only factor.
The consequences of economic globalization, notably the global
spread of digital mediation, also account for this change of
perspective. Last but not least the climate change issue and a
renewed urgency around the state of the environmental crisis also
contribute to bring the 'natural' much closer to home. Digital
mediation has by now become a standard way to live and interact.
The electronic frontier has altered dramatically the practice of
education and research, especially in the Humanities and social
sciences, with direct consequences for the institutional practice
and the methodology of these disciplinary fields. This book aims to
explore the implications of these complex shifts for the practice
of critical thinking.
