Abstract:
This volume develops, broadens and sparks future philosophical discussion of emerging media and their ways of shaping and reshaping the habitus within which everyday lives are to be understood. Chapters address topics such as the ontology of digital objects and the metaphysics of emergence, technological and economic determinism, the role of everyday life in a philosophy of emerging media, and how our conceptions of identity and human nature are or are not being fundamentally transformed by emerging media. Drawing from the history of philosophy ideas of influential thinkers in the past, intellectual path makers on the contemporary scene offer new philosophical perspectives, laying the groundwork for future work in philosophy and in media studies.
