Abstract

This paper inquires into the possibility of the development of ICT at the Bottom of the Pyramid. Its focus is on philosophically funded methods and languages applicable on a universal and exemplary basis. The methods are taken to be based on abduction and sweeping-in-processes and the languages are taken to be based on categorical imperatives of Kant and the discourse ethics of Habermas/Apel. These “taken to be’s” are contrasted with Jacques Derrida’s “Deconstruction”. Paul Feyerabend’s “Against Method”as well as complexity theory. The explicated monological/dialogical and formal / procedural methods and languages together with its counterparts are used to start a sweeping-in-process on “Social Informatics”.
