Paul Ricoeur has been one of the most influential and
intellectually challenging philosophers of the last century, and
his work has contributed to a vast array of fields: studies of
language, of history, of ethics and politics. However, he has up
until recently only had a minor impact on the philosophy of
technology. Interpreting Technology aims to put Ricoeur's work at
the centre of contemporary philosophical thinking concerning
technology. It investigates his project of critical hermeneutics
for rethinking established theories of technology, the growing
ethical and political impacts of technologies on the modern
lifeworld, and ways of analysing global sociotechnical systems such
as the Internet. Ricoeur's philosophy allows us to approach
questions such as: how could narrative theory enhance our
understanding of technological mediation? How can our technical
practices be informed by the ethical aim of living the good life,
with and for others, in just institutions? And how does the
emerging global media landscape shape our sense of self, and our
understanding of history? These questions are more timely than
ever, considering the enormous impact technologies have on daily
life in the 21st century: on how we shape ourselves with health
apps, how we engage with one-another through social media, and how
we act politically through digital platforms.
