Digital technologies and new grammars of knowledge. Epistemological challenges in the digital society

Keywords: digital technologies, new grammars of knowledge, epistemological challenges, digital society

Abstract

Today’s world is characterized in general terms by the continuous digitalization of reality, a phenomenon that allows us to speak of the consolidation of the digital society and implies a set of epistemological challenges that demand study and calm philosophical reflection. From the typical methodology of epistemological analysis and through the documentary selection of sources of proven scientific value, the objective of this research was to problematize and philosophically discuss the epistemological challenges faced by the new grammars of knowledge, in their dialectical relationship with digital technologies. The information processed allows us to conclude that the vertiginous advance of digital society progressively questions the legitimacy of humanistic knowledge such as history and philosophy, questioning their contributions while privileging technological development and the exact sciences, since they are much better adapted to open economies driven by the profit motive, as a guiding principle of social life. This imbalance reflects a deep epistemological tension between different forms of knowledge and their respective criteria of validation and, moreover, between profit and the freedom to be and to know.
