Heidegger, Habermas and the Mobile Phone (Paperback)

George Myerson

Global mobile telephony is at the cutting edge of the communications revolution. Humanity, for Martin Heidegger, is 'the entity that talks'; Jurgen Habermas is a passionate advocate of authentic human interaction. Both are key thinkers in this encounter between alien visions of communication and the utopianism of the 20th and 21st centuries.
