THE ONTOLOGY OF SOFTWARE

Riko Riko

Abstract


ABSTRACT

The nature of software (computer program) has been the debate among philosophers in philosophy of computer science. The pursue of the ontological status of software through the essence of it seems unconvincing. In this article, I would argue that software is the end point of the existence of the machine. This existentialist approach is hoped to unveal the ontological status of software that remains unclear until today.
