A hermeneutics of distance education from a philosophy of technology
Education (DE), a large task in which this paper just tries to be a
cornerstone of the building. Philosophical reflection is put into technics
and the state of the art on the subject is quite extensive, because there
are some authors who have considered this technology as a phenomenon
that has changed social, intellectual, and cultural paradigms. Among them
M. Heidegger, H. Gadamer, M. Foucault stand out, but the topic relates
particularly to M. McLuhan, G. Simondon, P. Lévy, N. Negroponte, M.
Castells, P. Virilio, P. Virno and D. Kerckhove, among others, as the range is wide despite being a recent phenomenon. Technological advances have led and gestated a number of benefits for mankind. One of these has been the progress in the educational virtual-digital field, with distance education as its best. DE is not a recent phenomenon: some say that epistolary exchange between tutor and student already happened many centuries ago. It is enough to simply say that the phenomenon is now broad for research. The approach of this paper is confined to technology, with no means to develop a philosophical wisdom about technics. It is a sketch of what could be a future research project.
