While self-driving cars and autonomous weapon systems have received
a great deal of attention in media and research, the general
requirements of ethical life in today’s digitalizing reality have
not been made sufficiently visible and evaluable. This collection
of articles from both distinguished and emerging authors working at
the intersections of philosophy, literary theory, media, and
technology does not intend to fix new moral rules. Instead, the
volume explores the ethos of digital environments, asking how we
can orient ourselves in them and inviting us to renewed moral
reflection in the face of dilemmas they entail. The authors show
how contemporary digital technologies model our perception,
narration as well as our conceptions of truth, and investigate the
ethical, moral, and juridical consequences of making public and
societal infrastructures computational. They argue that we must
make the structures of the digital environments visible and learn
to care for them.

A multifaceted engagement with the thought of Jean-Luc Nancy.
This book continues passionate conversation that Jean-Luc
Nancy (1940–2021) was engaged in throughout his life with
philosophers and artists from all over the world. The contributors
take up Nancy’s philosophical question of truth as a praxis of a
“with”—understanding truth without any given measure or
comparison as an articulation of a with. It is a thinking
responsible for the world from within the world, a language that
seeks to respond to the ongoing mutation of our civilization.

Omnipresent in popular culture, especially in film and literature,
the theme of the 'end of the world' is often rejected from
contemporary philosophy as hysterical apocalyptism. This volume
attempts to show that, on the contrary, it is vital that we address
the motif of the 'end' in contemporary world - but that this cannot
be done without thinking it anew. The 'end of the world' opens up
philosophical questions concerning the very notion of the world,
which is a fundamental element of all existential, phenomenological
and hermeneutical philosophy. Is the 'end of the world' for us
rather 'somebody's' death (the end of 'being-in-the-world') or the
extinction of many or of all (the end of the world itself)? Is the
erosion of the 'world' a phenomenon that does not in fact affect
the notion of the world as a fundamental feature of all
existential-ontological inquiry? Or is there on the contrary an
inherent negativity in the very notion of the world which is only
now really becoming a question ? Can the world really 'end'? What
would it mean? Or should one rather speak about an 'unworlding' of
the world in order to bring about an interrogation or maybe even a
deconstruction of the notion of the world? This volume demonstrates
the origins and the present state of these concerns, in philosophy,
film and literature. The book opens with a philosophical
hermeneutics of the present state of the world by showing how the
end of the world takes place in the world itself. It goes on to
show how different arts have ventured to express the end of the
world while asking if a consequent expression of the end of the
world is also an end of its expression. Finally the book explores
how philosophy copes with the problematic of the end of the world
today.

the present state of the world and explores the principal questions
of the philosophical accounts of the end of the world, such as
finality and finitude. It also shows how literature and cinema have
ventured to express the end of the world while asking if a
consequent expression of the end of the world is also an end of its
expression.
