Judith Zoë Blijden. Judith Zoë examines her own and society’s relationship with technology from a philosophical perspective.
Methodology III-CC
Public philosophy is about thinking about our human experience with each other. Judith Zoë has developed her own methodology. In order to understand how technology impacts communities, She believes that we must engage the communities that are affected. Philosophy provides tools to clarify concepts and organizes diverse voices. Philosophy allows us to think openly without restrictions, while, at the same time, it can (and should) impact our daily practices and choices. It is both an exercise in ‘thinking’ and in ‘doing’.

Using her own methodology, Judith Zoë focuses on one philosophical concept and discusses this concept through the lens of a specific technological application. Judith Zoë develops creative interventions to start public conversations about the values underlying our society. These interventions facilitate different people to meet, talk, think, and, more importantly, organise around solutions that help us move forward. Judith Zoë uses both philosophical (academic) theory as well as her own personal experiences with technology as important sources of information. She uses the input of others to inform her thinking about the concept as well as how we (society) and she (should) use technology in her life. Thinking together, not only leads to intellectual progress, but also builds understanding and new communities. Judith Zoë aims to make her interventions and output as accessible as possible to all. Judith documents her activities through different mediums, such as text and audio.
