Abstract

The purpose of this book is to introduce a different way of looking at IT and IS, and to suggest some tools to help us do this and to take action. The tools derive from philosophy but are orientated to everyday experience of IT/IS. And those tools will be applied to five areas of research and practice in IT/IS to which the above questions relate. They are also the areas related to the five vignettes in the Preface (Vignettes 1, 2, 3, 5, 4 respectively).
