Buddhist Philosophy in Technology-Driven Life: A Philosophical Analysis in the Light of the Four Noble Truths Dr. Subhajit Dutta, Assistant Professor, Department of Philosophy, Kumargram College, West Bengal, India. | |
Digital technologies have become part of everyday life. They shape the way people think, communicate, work and understand themselves. Such changes have many advantages. They have also brought distraction, anxiety, constant comparison, and an ongoing sense of dissatisfaction. In this paper these experiences will be analysed from the philosophical perspective of the Four Noble Truths in Buddhist thought. It does not regard the Four Noble Truths as a religious teaching or a path for personal spirituality alone. Instead, it takes them as a philosophical framework for understanding the ethical and psychological challenges of a technology-driven society. The discussion explores the expressions of craving, attachment and ignorance in the use of social media, algorithmic consumption and the search for online validation. The novelty of this paper is its attempt to re-interpret the Four Noble Truths as a philosophical approach to contemporary digital life. The paper is informative because it connects classical Buddhist philosophy with current technological realities. It argues that an ancient philosophical tradition still has something to say about current forms of suffering, and offers a more mindful way of engaging with technology. | |
