In 2023, the volume Women Philosophers on Economics, Technology, Environment, and Gender History, based on the proceedings of the international conference IAPh 2021 Defining the Future – Rethinking the Past, was finally published. This publication represents a significant milestone in Ruth E. Hagengruber‘s EcoTechGender research. A key focus of Prof. Hagengruber’s work at the Center and in the EcoTechGender project is the participation of women in fields such as informatics and economics, as well as other disciplines. A brief introduction to this exciting research can be found in the 2023 article The Third Knowledge Dimension: From a Binary System to a Three-limbed Epistemology:

The thesis of this paper is that a new kind of epistemology evolves from the use of artificial intelligence. The path it takes changes our understanding of the world, of human values and also of science and will be irreversible. The question that arises is whether this form of intelligence also influences our knowledge struc- ture. By this I mean the area that we outline philosophically as the epistemological area. So the question is, under these circumstances, is the way we gain knowledge today still comparable to the definitions that philosophy has provided us with for centuries? The answer is: No! The paper sketches in broad outlines what the cor- nerstones of change will be and what consequences this will have for our way of understanding.
