商品描述

This book questions the nature of the business and social information systems so ubiquitous in contemporary life. Linking positivism, individualism, and market-fundamentalist economics at the root of these systems, it critiques the philosophical ground of this triumvirate as fundamentally against nature. Connecting counter-philosophies of the subject as a natural part of existence, with more collectivist and ecological economics, it presents a historical critique of the development of the academic field of information systems and offers a complex view of the nature of Nature through which we might reshape our approach to technology and to our economies to overcome the existential threat of climate change. As such, it will appeal to philosophers, social theorists, and scholars of science and technology studies with interests in the environment and ecology, as well as those working in the field of information systems.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書質疑當代生活中無處不在的商業與社會資訊系統的本質。它將實證主義、個人主義和市場原教旨主義經濟學聯繫在這些系統的根源上,批判這三者的哲學基礎根本上違反自然。通過將主體的反哲學視為存在的自然部分,與更具集體主義和生態經濟學的觀點相連結,本書對資訊系統學術領域的發展進行了歷史性的批判,並提供了一個複雜的自然本質觀,通過這一觀點,我們可以重塑對技術和經濟的看法,以克服氣候變遷所帶來的生存威脅。因此,本書將吸引對環境和生態感興趣的哲學家、社會理論家以及科學與技術研究的學者,還有在資訊系統領域工作的專業人士。
