Description

Are we being manipulated online? If so, is being manipulated by online technologies and algorithmic systems notably different from human forms of manipulation? And what is under threat exactly when people are manipulated online? This volume provides philosophical and conceptual depth to debates in digital ethics about online manipulation. The contributions explore the ramifications of our increasingly consequential interactions with online technologies such as online recommender systems, social media, user friendly design, microtargeting, default settings, gamification, and real time profiling. The authors in this volume address four broad and interconnected themes: What is the conceptual nature of online manipulation? And how, methodologically, should the concept be defined? Does online manipulation threaten autonomy, freedom, and meaning in life and if so, how? What are the epistemic, affective, and political harms and risks associated with online manipulation? What are legal and regulatory perspectives on online manipulation? This volume brings these various considerations together to offer philosophically robust answers to critical questions concerning our online interactions with one another and with autonomous systems. The Philosophy of Online Manipulation will be of interest to researchers and advanced students working in moral philosophy, digital ethics, philosophy of technology, and the ethics of manipulation.

Author Biography:

She is currently working on a research project on the impact of algorithms on our capacity for self-knowledge and autonomy, and the ways in which algorithms are said to know us ‘better than we know ourselves’. She is also interested in feminist ethics, self and identity, moral pedagogy, and is actively engaged in public philosophy. Michael Klenk is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands. His work is at the intersection of metaethics, moral psychology, and the philosophy of technology.

Inquiries into Philosophical Progress, Method, and Societal Relevance (2020).
