In Search of the Other – Vilém Flusser and Dialogical Life / In the Shadow of Post-History – Introduction to the Philosophy of Vilém Flusser
How does the philosophy of Vilém Flusser present the subject of moral values? Can we talk about Vilém Flusser’s ethics? Who is the Other and how do we engage with him/her? Flusser’s philosophy, especially the notion of dialogue, attempt to give an answer to these fundamental existential, moral, and social questions that our postmodern world is confronted with. Interestingly enough, Flusser’s philosophy describes the experience of meeting the Other starting out from a reflection on media.
