The Age of Non-Things: A Philosophical Analysis
Reflections on the Information Society
The most read philosopher of our time gives us a work that marks the transition from the material to the immaterial, focusing attention on how information has become the axis on which our existence revolves. “It is not things, but information, that determines the world we live in,” he declares in his most recent publication, highlighting the paradigmatic shift towards a general information.
The Dematerialization of the Modern World
This contemporary thinker examines the growing dominance of digital media and how these are gradually supplanting our traditional memory and perception of reality. It details how the preference for storing data instead of personal memories and how digitalization is leading to a "dematerialization" and "discorporealization" of the world, evidencing the profound implications of living in a constant state of searching for new information.
A Critique of Artificial Intelligence and the Allure of the Tangible
In his new essay, Byung-Chul Han goes further by presenting both a philosophy of the smartphone and a critical reflection on the Artificial Intelligence. However, it also rescues the importance and value of the tangible, the substantial—that which provides a sense of permanence as opposed to the ephemeral noise of information. It highlights the way in which we have become avid hunters of data, losing the ability to appreciate the "small and common things" that, although not stimulating, are essential for grounding us in reality.
Recover the Magic of the Solid with This Essential Work
This book not only offers a critical perspective on the digital age and its dematerializing effects, but also invites us to rediscover and value the magic of what is solid and tangible, as well as the importance of silence in a world saturated with continuous information. For those seeking to deepen their understanding of the contrast between things and non-things, and how these concepts shape our perception of the world, acquire this essential philosophical work now.
