MASTER CLASS DESCRIPTION

Even before the events of February, 2022 it was clear that the world was likely entering a period of extended disorder. Indeed, arguably recent events are only the tip of the (digital) iceberg towards which contemporary governments, societies, and culture are headed.  Political change – or at least unprecedented pressure - is in the air, almost everywhere. 

In this talk we will look at why this is happening. We'll explore how digital technology has become what philosophers call a "formal cause", i.e. something that does not merely have effects, but that is actually structuring and shaping political and social choices. We’ll also try and glimpse what the digital future holds, and discuss what businesses and business people might do about it.
