Maurizio Ferraris - Kant's Cell-Phone: from Postmodernism to New Realism
Prof. Ferraris will present his work on Postmodernism and Realism this tuesday.听
The talk will examine four theses:
The first (relativism) is a critique of post-modern assumption that reality as a whole is socially constructed, this thesis has given a distorted view of the media as omnipotent manufacturers of reality;
The second (new realism) is the thesis that a fundamental layer of reality exists independently of media, but also our minds;聽
The third (documentality) proposes an ontology that describes the construction of social objects depends on recording, which must be considered as the basic function of the media and the construction of reality as a whole;
The fourth (emergence) argues that intentionality as normativity are products of the documentality and media of which they are a part.
