Description

"Why do we believe what we believe, and ignore what we don't believe? Why do we believe some things that have no foundation in reality, and refuse to believe in things that are firmly supported by scientific research? Why does it seem that many people believe in nothing at all? And does it matter what we believe, and how we came to that decisive point of belief or unbelief?" "Peter K. Fallon insists that neither the study nor the practice of ethics and metaphysics should be limited to professional academic philosophers and theologians. In The Metaphysics of Media Fallon takes a courageous stand against our hyper-mediated popular culture and the postmodern view of information as a salable commodity. He investigates how and why different media, through different historical eras, have engendered and supported certain concepts of reality - at the expense of others. He begins with a critical discussion of the essential idea of objective reality and truth. Fallon then unfolds the story of the evolution of communication through four major eras and the metaphysical foundation that underlies each era and concludes with a look at the troubling rise of mass ignorance in what we call (without a hint of irony) an "age of information.""--Résumé de l'éditeur.
