WHAT IS THE POINT OF PHILOSOPHY / IF IT ISN’T PHILOSOPHY / OF THE MEDIA

Text topic: Philosophy of Media

Text author: Sead Alić

The title of the paper suggests several dimensions of questioning the meaning of the philosophy of media. The first level includes the text which questions the reasons for the existence of philosophy itself (Adorno, Habermas, Heidegger ...). The second level initiates the question: What is the point of philosophy if it isn’t philosophy, is the level of questioning philosophy in relation to dimensions outside of the realm of philosophy that have influenced it throughout history. The third level examines the importance and necessity of precisely those methods and approaches developed by the great achievements of thinkers, who we consider (some more, some less) essential to the philosophy of media.
