Recenzii
Philosophy of the Medium offers a lively and nuanced interrogation of the ongoing viability of the assumptions of medium theory, a leftover from the age of McLuhan, in terms of questions about a medium's disappearance, transparency, digital dematerialization, objecthood, lack of concreteness and, ultimately, content. This is an important addition to media ontology.
This is an important book that offers a formidable challenge to existing orthodoxies as Lechte takes on a range of thinkers and shows how they have misunderstood what a "medium" is, resulting in a need to change the ways we think about media, art, and the world as such.
