현대 과학기술에 내재된 다중 인격의 강화 가능성과 정보윤리학의 역할

Abstract

Our cultural phenomenon that is based on rapid development of science and technology is now being considered as the a priori condition of the human ontological foundation and existence, beyond the issue of specific discipline. In this respect, the quest for a cultural phenomenon embedded from the particular circumstances of 'digital' makes us to question of what the human and whose way of existence beyond examining technical, engineering, and industrial discourses. And all of which is bound us to reflect on the humanistic aspects, and contemplate our future vision in terms of humanistic way. But main questions of this study is to inquire into how experience of specific human being has been changed in the digital cultural-interface, rather than exploring the possibility of development of Humanities within recent academic ecosystem involving modern digital technology. Furthermore, even in spite of these changes happened, this study is to examine what ethical and existential requests should be needed from the Levy and Merleau-ponty’s perspective on that issue. To this end, primarily, the change of human perception and the its ability to perform caused from the modern digital civilization is to be reviewed in terms of understanding of self-identity relating to the way of change of experience of the subject. And then, although virtual world implemented by digital technology will be the a priori condition leading to rapid disintegration and dissolution of the self-identity of the subject, this study is intended to argue over the issue of multiple selves in need of empathic ethics. Therefore, if our ethical duty is referred to avoid the extreme gap between the virtual and reality while acknowledging the existence of multiple selves, to request of empathic ethics in digital cultural-interface by identifying possible basis. Which is ultimate purpose of this study.
