Logical Foundations and Social Consequences of Digital Transformation

Abstract

The 17th-century scientific revolution led to radical changes in the individual and social sphere. With the impact of science, technology has become a determinant in daily life. By the 20th century, the determinism of technology had a foundational role in human logical thinking as well as ethical and social life. This effect of technology generates new thoughts on the transformations of the digital age and brings different reflections to the agenda. In this study, the innovations emerging in the digital age will be analyzed from two perspectives. First, the impact of digitalization on the use of forms of reasoning will be discussed, as well as the logical foundations of the digitalization era. In this context, the course of logic studies, which are the basis of artificial intelligence research in the 20th century, and the research topics of these studies will be examined. Artificial intelligence studies, which emerged to solve problems encountered in fields such as logic and mathematics in their early periods, have moved from being a tool to being the focus of studies as a research object. As the second aim, the effects of the digital age on social life will be discussed. The possibilities offered by the digital age produce a two-way effect on the sphere of human action. While the digital age expands the boundaries of the public sphere on the one hand, it creates atomized individualities on the other. Therefore, multidimensional appearances emerge with the possibilities offered by the digital world. This situation makes it necessary to address individual and social relations in the digital age in light of new developments. In this context, our study aims to evaluate the digital age in terms of its logical foundations and its consequences in moral and social life. © 2025 Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
