“…All these avatars had turned into gushing torrents of One Zero Chains. Hence, this technology has reached the highest degree of mathematical, logical, and physical abstraction (Russell, 1959). In light of this digital revolution, modern technology appeared in the second half of the twentieth century, which contributed to the development of electronic industries and information technology, and also contributed to the advancement of computer science, communications technology, and satellites that made the world a small village.…”

This paper aims to shed light on the current conceptual vision that has crystallized since the end of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first century. This is to identify the intellectual and philosophical features of this period and the conceptual differences that occurred as a result of the great scientific and technological revolution. The research will discuss in some detail the expansion of linguistics and mathematical logic that resulted from the great development in the twentieth century through the encoding of the mathematical language to become a unified language of science. These attempts ended with the emergence of "digital" technology, which succeeded in converting all symbolic patterns into digital patterns. The research assumes that architecture today is a direct product of the digital revolution brought about by the great development in mathematical logic and the subsequent cognitive revolution. The paper also focuses its study on identifying the intellectual and conceptual influences that shaped architecture and the influence of mathematical logic and the philosophy of language on the formation processes. The research also presented an inductive critical vision of contemporary architecture based on monitoring and studying the intellectual and philosophical influences that influenced the formation of the intellectual and material propositions of contemporary architecture. The paper also sought to monitor and identify the architectural trends that resulted from the change in conceptual vision by monitoring and analyzing changes in form and concept in contemporary architecture.

“…Before we discuss what constitutes the subject matter and methodology of the philosophy of computing education, it is useful to examine what characterises the subject of philosophy itself. This, however, is a notoriously difficult problem, e.g., see [1]. Nevertheless, although the history of the subject has shown a remarkable degree of diversity in the development of ideas and methods, we can still determine some aspects of basic subject matter and methodology that have remained central to the philosophical enterprise over the past twenty-five centuries.…”

In this paper, we present a preliminary description of the field of inquiry encompassed by the philosophy of computing education. We first attempt to identify a general framework for investigating characteristic questions of a philosophical nature that arise within the STEM application domains. We describe the categories such questions fall under and use the philosophy of computing to illustrate this process. We also consider an alternative approach to identifying philosophical issues within a practical field, using the philosophy of education as an example. We consider the related subject of the philosophy of engineering education and see how this has recently emerged as an object of study in its own right. We investigate the similarities and differences between this field and the philosophy of computing education, and provide an initial description of the latter subject area. We also discuss how it relates to the subject referred to as Computing Education Research. Finally, we draw some conclusions about why there is this puzzling, apparent lack of interest in current work in this area, and suggest reasons why the pursuit of philosophical inquiry into computing education should be an important aspect of scholarly study in the subject.

“…Despite philosophy's long history and philosophers' tendency to reflect on their own discipline, it is surprisingly difficult to establish precisely what philosophy is and what it strives for. As Bertrand Russell argued, any attempt to define philosophy “is controversial and already embodies a philosophic attitude” (1959, 7).…”
