Jörg Phil Friedrich (* 1965 in Wolgast ) is a German philosopher and entrepreneur.

Life

Friedrich grew up in Pritzwalk . After graduating from high school, he studied physics and meteorology at the Humboldt University in Berlin from 1984 to 1989 . In his diploma thesis he dealt with the simulation of cloud formation processes with cellular automata . In 1994 he founded the software house INDAL together with Cornelia Gaebert in Münster . From 2006 to 2009 he studied philosophy at the FernUniversität Hagen and completed his studies with a master's thesis on the existence of theoretical entities. Since then he has been working on questions of the philosophy of science , the philosophy of religion and political philosophy and has worked as a journalist for various media, including as a columnist for the philosophy magazine Hohe Luft , the weekly newspaper der Freitag , the online magazine Telepolis and the debate platform DieKolumnisten.

Friedrich already dealt with questions of the philosophy of science in his master's thesis. From April 2009 to September 2010, he ran the Arte facts blog on the science blog platform ScienceBlogs . There he presented concepts of the philosophy of science and the philosophy of science and reflected the truth and knowledge claims of modern science. Some of his blogger colleagues were critical and negative about his posts.

In his book Critique of Networked Reason from 2012, Friedrich describes on the one hand the fundamental principles of the modern networked society, but at the same time takes a critical look at the emerging structures of network activists. As a result, Friedrich developed the point of view that the Internet and social networks "are the result of a social development that began decades, if not centuries before". In 2018 he wrote that "a long-digitized world demanded and created its technology, which we now perceive everywhere as the dominant digitization."

In his 2019 book Is science what knowledge creates? Friedrich provides a philosophical description of the production of scientific knowledge that shows the complementarity and structural similarity of theoretical and empirical scientific work.

In 2019 Friedrich published the book Der plausible Gott , in which he showed that divine work can also be plausibly thought from an atheist perspective.
