Introduzione: se la rivoluzione informazionale si rivela troppo conservativa

Luciano Floridi proposes to reconceive philosophy as a constructive practice committed to facing the
issues of the present and to dismantle and assemble the categories of contemporary thought. Introducing
this symposium, I aim to explore what I consider to be the inherent risks of a philosophy conceived in this
manner. To put it briefly, such a philosophy appears to be both consumed in the plots of contemporary
times and over-committed towards formulating evermore effective and useful answers, each time
aiming to somehow transcend itself and to critically portray the specific context in which it arises. Can
informational philosophy criticize the present epoch and open new ways of emancipation, or is it too
functionally dependent on the actual processes it examines hindering a critical point of view?
