Philosophy for Gen-Z and Gen-Alpha: A New Conceptual Framework
Abstract
Philosophy has conventionally been characterized as the pursuit of wisdom, involving exploration of existence, knowledge, values, reason, and ethics. The swift technological, social, and cultural transformations encountered by Gen-Z and Gen-Alpha need a reevaluation of philosophical practice and objectives. This paper presents "Digital-Integrated Philosophy" (DIP), a novel idea that amalgamates classical philosophical inquiry with the lived experiences, cognitive patterns, and social realities of modern youth. DIP provides a framework for comprehending ethics, knowledge, and meaning in a digitally interconnected and swiftly changing society through the integration of empirical investigations, sociological insights, and technology interaction.
