Resumo: What is the present role of philosophy? Given the several possible distinct answers to this question, we turn our attention at some topics related to the so-called Information Ethics, a relatively recent branch of philosophical-interdisciplinary research that discusses problems arising from the relationship between human beings and digital technologies. Themes such as informational privacy, epistemic arrogance and digital divide will be discussed and related, in order to illustrate the role of philosophy in understanding the structural complexity of social dynamics in the context of the information society. We argue that thinking about the contemporary world from the perspective of Information Ethics is becoming more and more essential to account the rapid changes that the information revolution imposes on life in society and so that we are not flooded by information excess that we witness in our everyday life.

Diante das inúmeras respostas possíveis a esta questão, nos debruçaremos em alguns tópicos que podemos inserir na chamada Ética Informacional, um ramo de investigação filosófico-interdisciplinar relativamente recente que discute problemas oriundos da relação ser humano/tecnologias digitais. Temas como privacidade informacional, arrogância epistêmica e divisão digital serão discutidos e relacionados, com o intuito de ilustrar o papel da filosofia na compreensão da complexidade inerente às dinâmicas sociais no contexto da sociedade da informação. Argumentaremos que pensar o mundo contemporâneo a partir do viés da ética informacional se faz cada dia mais imprescindível para que possamos entrar em sintonia com as rápidas mudanças que a revolução informacional impõe à vida em sociedade e não sermos levados pelas enxurradas informacionais que presenciamos diariamente.Universidade Estadual De Maringá2020-12-15info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://www.periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/ActaSciHumanSocSci/article/view/5649610.4025/actascihumansoc.v42i3.56496Acta Scientiarum.
