In "The Metaphysics of Media", award-winning media critic Peter K. Fallon tackles the complicated question of how a succession of dominant forms of media have supported - and even to some extent created - different conceptions of reality. To do so, he starts with the basics: a critical discussion of the very idea of objective reality and the various postmodern responses that have tended to dominate recent philosophical approaches to the subject. From there, he embarks on a survey of the evolution of communication through four major eras: orality, literacy, print, and electricity. Within each era, Fallon argues, the dominant form of media supported particular ways of understanding the world, from the ascendance of reason that followed the development of alphabets to the obliteration of space and time that we associate with electronic communications. Fallon concludes with a hard look at the mass ignorance that prevails today despite (or perhaps because of) the sea of information with which contemporary life is surrounded. A stirring, philosophically rich investigation, "The Metaphysics of Media" offers not only a clear picture of where our society has been but also a road map to a more engaged, informed, and fully human future.
