Description

Explore the philosophical and technological evolution of media from Classical Greece to the digital age in this comprehensive examination by Hassan and Sutherland. Philosophy of Media traces how the computer has transformed not only itself but nearly every media process humans have developed throughout history. Since the late-1980s, the rise of the Internet and the Networked Society have fundamentally reshaped everyday life, yet understanding these changes requires examining their deeper intellectual foundations. This Routledge publication casts new light on the global media condition by investigating the philosophical underpinnings of media technologies across centuries. Whether you study media theory, philosophy, history, or technology, this work provides essential context for understanding how ideas about communication, information, and human connection have evolved and shaped our modern world.

Key Features

Examines the computer's unique capacity to transform itself and reshape every other media process humans have developed.

Investigates the philosophical foundations underlying the Internet and Networked Society that emerged in the late-1980s.

Published by Routledge, a leading academic press specialising in philosophy, media studies, and social sciences scholarship.

Suitable for students and scholars of media theory, philosophy of technology, and contemporary digital culture.
