Philosophers in data - eBook

Philosophy and data seem two completely disparate fields. Looking for links between two vastly different fields of study can inspire you and entice some self-reflection.

As a philosoher who wound up in data, I created a series of articles about how you can be inspired by philosophy to improve the way you use data in an organization.

I bundled these articles in a small e-book with these subjects:

Table of content:

• Plato vs Aristoteles - Top-down vs bottom-up approach
• Immanuel Kant - The observer is central
• Martin Heidegger – Learn the language
• Wittgenstein - Logic vs storytelling
• Whitehead - The only constant is change, but how to model for this view on reality
• John Rawls - Veil of ignorance
• Martha Nussbaum - Use data to retrain your gut feeling
• Summary - Are you climbing the right wall?

What are the parallels between philosophy and data?
