In contemporary debates, communication is variously invoked as a panacea for the problems of both democracy and love, as a dream of a new information society brought about by new technologies, and as a wistful ideal of human relations. How, and why, did communication come to shoulder the load it carries? In John Durham Peters's work, the teachings of Socrates and Jesus, the theology of Saint Augustine, the political philosophy of Locke, and the American tradition from Emerson through William James all become relevant for understanding communication in our age. Peters finds that thinkers across the centuries have struggled with the same questions - how we can hope for contact with others, what has become of human beings in increasingly technological times, how new modes of communication have altered the ways the world is imagined and how we relate to others - and he weaves intellectual history and communications history together. The book traces the yearning for contact not only through philosophy and literature but also by exploring the cultural reception of communication technologies from the telegraph to the radio. The history of communication, Peters shows, is not a triumphant progress toward global harmony but rather a collection of uncanny devices that conjure angels, spirits and alien intelligences. His is an account of a complex concept that has both shaped us and been shaped by us.
我没怎么读懂这本书,但是我理解作者要表达的意图之一和我的想法契合:人与人之间的真正有效无碍的交流是不可能的。 他还说了很多,以时间为轴,论述了各种交流的不可能性,甚至有对人与动物、人与机器人的交流的看法。我能记得的作者的观点有: 1、作者说宗教传播者(...
評分今天读书的时候突然意识到这样一个问题:唯物主义的政治教育和现代生活的飞速变迁让我们越来越习惯于接受变化而放弃对其合理性和存在价值的质疑。“科技是第一生产力”的解说把所有的创新归功于科技进步,却忽视了人本身。以前曾偏爱一句格言,大约是要我们目光坚定、内心...

評分考虑到彼得斯在少年时代曾为摩门教传教,其著作中强烈的宗教思想色彩就不足为奇了,尤其体现在对两种交流观的梳理中,某些段落的写作包含道德激情。这种特质与冷静务实的实用主义诉求糅合在一起,体现出细腻、折中又不乏意境深远的气质。 一个需要纠正的观点是,彼得斯虽然常常...
