Heidegger and the media

Heidegger and Media Author: David Gunkel - Paul A. Taylor Translation: Mustafa Hindi Number of pages: 200 pages Size: 17 x 24 cm Download the overview: From here In 1889 AD, the German philosopher Martin Heidegger was born, and he died in 1976 AD at the age of 86. After leaving significant marks on Western philosophy, away from metaphysical, theological, and epistemological debates, he was deeply engaged in questions and discussions about ontology, being, and the (Dasein). His style was sometimes characterized by difficulty, as he posed questions and often responded with questions, but his philosophical influence, especially from the mid-20th century onward, cannot be denied. Despite academic focus shifting to his intellectual legacy due to his involvement with Nazi activity for a period, ignoring him diminishes many benefits and insights in intellectual studies. From here, the authors (David Gunkel and Paul A. Taylor) decided to refocus the spotlight on one of Heidegger's most important topics, which is related to the communication revolution we have reached today: his deconstructive approach to media, especially his perspective on language and its influence on media, as well as Heidegger's concept of Dasein and its impact on views of mass media and digital culture. The authors also emphasized Heidegger's view of existence and highlighted his future predictions regarding the development of media.
