Luciano Floridi is Professor of Philosophy and Ethics of
Information at the University of Oxford, where he is the Director of
Research and Senior Research Fellow of the Oxford Internet
Institute, Governing Body Fellow of St Cross College, Distinguished
Research Fellow of the Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics, Faculty of
Philosophy, and Research Associate and Fellow in Information Policy of the
Department of Computer Science. Floridi is currently a member
of Google Advisory Council on “the right to be forgotten” and of the
Advisory Board of the Internet and Society Institute recently launched by
Tencent. His research concerns primarily the
Philosophy of Information, Information and Computer Ethics, and the Philosophy
of Technology. Other research interests are Epistemology, Philosophy of Logic,
and the History and Philosophy of Scepticism. He has published over 150
papers in many anthologies and peer-reviewed journals and eight books. His most
recent book is the book I read, The Fourth Revolution: How the
Infosphere is Reshaping Human Reality. Floridi's lifetime project that he has
been working on since the late nineties is a four volume project
called The Foundations of the Philosophy of
Information. It investigates the conceptual nature and basic
principles of information, including its ethical consequences. This is a
map of how Floridi's books are related to one another in his efforts to
complete his tetralogy and developing the philosophy of information
as a new and independent area of research.
