The most significant philosopher of Being, Martin Heidegger has
nevertheless largely been ignored within communications studies.
This book sets the record straight by demonstrating the profound
implications of his unique philosophical project for our
understanding of today’s mediascape. The full range of
Heidegger’s writing from Being and Time to his
later essays is drawn upon. style=’text-align: left; text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; font: 11px Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; white-space: normal; letter-spacing: normal; color: #000000; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;’ />
