Where Should Philosophy Go in the Age of AI? (dotnetxpert.com)

This 80-part series frames philosophy as an active practice of “navigation” for an era in which AI accelerates cognition and unsettles meaning. Using the mythic structure of Moana as an allegorical map, the project asks whether traditional analytic philosophy (clarity, formal precision) and continental thought (worldview, narrative, structures of meaning) still suffice or whether we need new intellectual tools. It argues that AI can take over many tasks once central to analytic inquiry, while continental approaches to creativity, narrative, and existential orientation may become more salient—and that real progress will come from inventing hybrid methods that operate in the space where the two traditions intersect. For the AI/ML community this is a practical provocation: as models automate formal reasoning and pattern extraction, questions about meaning, interpretation, value, and narrative construction become design and research problems, not just academic ones. The series suggests reframing philosophers’ role from adjudicators to method-builders who help craft evaluation metrics, interpretability practices, human-centered interfaces, and creative systems that preserve or reconstruct human narratives. In short, it calls for interdisciplinary practices that combine algorithmic rigor with philosophical attention to meaning—guiding how we build, evaluate, and live with AI “after” scale and capability.
