Abstract

Many scholars recognize, and even take for granted, the manifold impact of information and communication technologies (ICTs) over our society, which is named, after this impact, the information society. This impact, which is widely assumed to be social, economic, legal, moral, political and so forth, poses the question of normativity: i.e. whether this impact shapes or determines our own society. However, only few scholars recognize that it is also or most of all epistemic. This requires us to develop an epistemological investigation that interpretes technology as well as normativity as constituted by constraining affordances.
