Thinking Otherwise: Philosophy, Communication, Technology
Thinking Otherwisewill become a classic like Jacques  Ellul'sTechnological Societyand Jean Baudrillard'sSimulations. This erudite and innovative book totally reorients our  thinking away from binary logic. The philosophical dimensions of  information and communication technology have never been outlined better.  The author is bilingual, knowing both philosophy and ICT's with brilliance.  His critique of digital reason and his machine-as-other turn communication  ethics on its head. In this post-metaphysical age skeptical of the  humanities, Thinking Otherwise demonstrates perfectly how the history of  ideas opens up an alternative pathway.Clifford Christians, Charles H.
