保罗·里克·乌尔是上个世纪最具影响力、最具智力挑战性的哲学家之一，他的工作为一系列领域做出了贡献：语言、历史、伦理和政治研究。然而，直到最近，他对技术哲学的影响还很小。
解读技术旨在将里科尔的作品置于当代技术哲学思考的中心。它调查了他的批判解释学项目，以重新思考已确立的技术理论、技术对现代生活世界日益增长的伦理和政治影响，以及分析互联网等全球社会技术系统的方法。Ricœur的哲学允许我们探讨这样的问题：叙事理论如何增强我们对技术中介的理解？我们的技术实践如何能被在公正的机构中与他人一起并为他人过上美好生活的道德目标所告知？新兴的全球媒体格局如何塑造我们的自我意识和对历史的理解？考虑到技术对21世纪日常生活的巨大影响，这些问题比以往任何时候都更加及时：我们如何用健康应用塑造自己，我们如何通过社交媒体与他人互动，以及我们如何通过数字平台采取政治行动。
Interpreting Technology: Ricoeur on Questions Concerning Ethics and Philosophy of Technology
Paul Ricœur 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 Ricœur’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. Ricœur’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.
