Abstract

Abstract:The Internet of Things, as the object-oriented reconstruction of the traditional internet, is characterized by its smart objects freely inter-operating without being necessarily under human control. Re-building the internet's information economy from the data captured by and communicated through these autonomous objects, the IoT operationalizes a sort of flat ontology, which recent realist philosophers suggest as a means to speculate about the world-making activities of nonhumans not necessarily correlated to human subjects. This paper examines the coincidence of recent interest in these nonhuman world-making processes drawn by two traditionally distinctive but now converging fields: computer engineering and philosophical ontology.

巴特比,物联网,平面本体:如何在无处不在的计算时代编写本体
摘要:物联网是对传统互联网进行面向对象的重构,其特点是智能对象无需人为控制即可自由交互。物联网通过这些自主对象捕获和交流的数据重建互联网的信息经济,实现了一种扁平的本体论,最近的现实主义哲学家认为,这是一种推测非人类创造世界的活动的手段,不一定与人类主体相关。本文考察了最近在计算机工程和哲学本体论这两个传统上不同但现在正在融合的领域中对这些非人类世界制造过程的兴趣的巧合。
