    Abstract

    This retrospective of the Web and Philosophy (PhiloWeb) symposia traces the evolution of the philosophy of the web over a decade, from its origins at La Sorbonne through the Googleplex and beyond. The papers in the proceedings, as well as invited talks, given in the online retrospective (PhiloWeb 2021) are outlined. A call to arms to put the "philosophy"back into the "philosophical engineering"of web is shown to be necessary in order to redeem the revolutionary horizons opened by the web.
