About the Book
The content and structure of knowledge are at all times fundamentally
moulded by the media through which
knowledge is communicated. Today, the
internet and mobile telephony are essential
parts of these media. Minds have become bound up with technological
devices. Face-to-face communication on
the one hand, and the solitary study of
documents on the other, merge with a
world of continuous digital networking,
texts with a world of images. Education
is confronted by radical challenges; a revolution in epistemology is
underway. The volume contains papers
by, among others, Ian Hacking,
Andrew Brook, Richard Coyne, Maurizio
Ferraris, James Katz, and Mike
Sharples.
Kristóf Nyíri has published widely on Wittgenstein, Austrian intellectual history,
and the philosophy of communication.
He directs the interdisciplinary
research program COMMUNICATIONS
IN THE 21ST CENTURY, conducted jointly
by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences
and T-Mobile Hungary. |
