The Myth of Being Virtual : On the Question of Identity in Cyber Space
Journal Title: Review Journal of Political Philosophy - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
In recent years, social media has evolved as a major means of communication. Since, there is no real human to human contact is necessary in such communications, the identity of the persons in cyber space becomes problematic. The cyber space per se becomes incapable of establishing the authenticity of the cyber/ virtual identity. In the real world, even if we accept that there is a real identity, the extent to which it is reflected in the conceived, projected or perceived identity is in question. In the analysis of the notions of identity, uniqueness can be attributed to identity only as the unique convergence of multiple identities. The notion of virtual is not unique to the cyber space but exists in various forms in arts and literature. It follows that the distinction between real and virtual is relative and what we consider as virtual or real is only a matter of convention. There, however, are ethical concerns and the best means to get relieved from these concerns is to educate about it.
