信息是实在的基本特征，而既然我们如今生活在“信息圈”中，就需要一种面向数字世界的新伦理学。

Floridi gave his constructionism a Kantian shape: things in themselves remain unknowable, and we know systems through models at chosen levels of abstraction (The Philosophy of Information, 2011). L.

Floridi argued that the ‘user’s knowledge’ tradition inherited from Plato should be complemented, if not replaced, by constructionism: knowing as making and modelling (‘A Defence of Constructionism’, 2011).

立场

Floridi established the philosophy of information as a field in its own right. Information, he argues, is as basic a concept for our age as being, knowledge or substance were for earlier philosophy, and his “informational structural realism” holds that reality is best understood as a structure of informational objects. Philosophy works with “levels of abstraction”, explicit choices of the variables through which a system is described, and it is less the representation of a given world than “conceptual design”, closer to the knowledge of the maker than to that of the observer. “The Fourth Revolution” places digital technology in a series of blows to human self-importance: after Copernicus, Darwin and Freud, Turing showed that we are not the only intelligent agents, and we now live as “inforgs”, informational organisms, in an “infosphere” where the line between online and offline has dissolved into “onlife”. His information ethics gives every existing thing, as an informational entity, a minimal moral standing and counts the destruction or impoverishment of the infosphere as an evil. In AI ethics he has worked on principles for a “good AI society” and on its regulation in Europe.
