The teaching of ethics in the face of the Technological Revolution (FTR): a hermeneutic-analogical perspective

Abstract

This paper addresses both the issues of ethics in general and teaching ethics in times of the Technological Revolution or Fourth Industrial Revolution (FIR). This approach is proposed from an analogical-hermeneutic perspective, main-ly by the ones brought by Mauricio Beuchot (2004), Gadamer (1998), and Foucault (1987). Thus, we start from a theoretical-philosophical approach to ethics to define how it is conceptualized for its purposes, from the perspective of the philosophers mentioned above, besides Zygmunt Bauman (2009). To this end, the FIR approach is adopted, from its broader aspects to its particularity in the subversion of data or Big Data, as the central focus of this article. It also investigated some relevant ethical dilemmas in the face of technological and industrial changes, to conclude with an analogical-ethical proposal in the developmental-educational sense.
