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.

评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...

评分[在电脑里翻到的,上学期的课程作业] “只有当代人才会在面对面时担心如何‘交流’的问题,仿佛他们之间相距千里之遥。‘交流’是盘根错节的思想文化问题,它把时代的种种自我冲突编进了自己的代码之中。” 这是作者彼得斯写在序论里的话,提示我们在阅读此书中应当时刻带着“...
