Study of a new anthropological dimension for the digital age
As a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, many scholars and scientists have left the country. More than 30 Ukrainian researchers displaced by the war have temporarily joined the University of Luxembourg mainly as research fellows and in some cases under temporary contracts funded by the FNR. In this series of interviews, we briefly present the researchers and their work. Kseniia Fedorova is a PhD researcher at the Odesa Mechnikov National University in Odesa, Ukraine. She is now a Visiting Researcher at the Department of Humanities of the Faculty of Humanities, Education and Social Sciences at the University of Luxembourg. What is your research field and which specific topic are you working on? My research interests are focused on the philosophy of technology, philosophical anthropology, contemporary French philosophy, and philosophy for children. More specifically, the topic of my research work can be identified as the study of a new anthropological dimension for the digital age based on contemporary French philosophy. The complexity of the digital world makes researchers rethink their strategies and approaches in socio-humanitarian knowledge. The world has changed and it's important to analyse all the processes that we face today from the philosophical point of view. However, the philosophers encounter some problems and one of the biggest ones is that philosophical methodologies from earlier times the previous years are outdated. My aim is to create or re-invent the philosophical-anthropological approach to analyse the human's position in the digital world. What would you like to achieve in your research work here?
