December 2006 — Present (1 year 10 months)

My thesis, under the tutelage of professor Christiane Chauviré, is devoted to a thorough study of the existing bonds between Internet and philosophy (or the contrary). It follows in particular the development of folksonomies, the consequences of which prompt us to reflect upon our ways of grasping, classifying and dealing with things or exchanging information about them, and the need to contrive new tools that would let us achieve this goal

To summarize, if one had to subsume those questions, and many others (a way to give them a firm footing in those traditions to which they bear witness), one could very well assign them ontological, cognitive and linguistic dimensions. It is to the mapping of those dimensions and the designing of whatever means are necessary to accomplish it that my task is devoted.
