Description
Gradually, television has invaded homes and turned man into a spectator glued to his screen. What are the real consequences of being plugged in to a continuous flow of images and sounds which constantly blurs the line between truth and lies, reality and simulation, life and death, and tragedy and comedy? In L’homme à l’âge de la télévision, Jean Jacques Wunenburger analyzes television from a philosophical standpoint, emphasizing the importance of bringing philosophy and current issues together. Wunenburger extends the scope of his study to pondering the use of technology in classrooms and its impact on society and democracy.
