Abstract

This article explores the concept of digital value within the context of human-technology relations through a postphenomenological lens, utilizing dynamic material hermeneutics as the guiding framework. It aims to provide a deeper understanding of how digital artifacts influence human experiences and perceptions in the digital age. By examining the co-constitution of humans and technology, this study offers insights into the interpretative processes that shape our interactions with digital tools. The research addresses the evolving nature of digital value, proposing a new perspective that goes beyond traditional economic metrics to consider the qualitative aspects of digital engagement. Through a critical analysis of existing literature and empirical findings, the article highlights the transformative impact of technology on human existence, advocating for a more nuanced interpretation of digital value that incorporates ethical, social, and cultural dimensions. This comprehensive study contributes to ongoing debates in the field of philosophy of technology and digital humanities.
