Drawing on a diverse array of thinkers from Plato to Kierkegaard, \u003cem\u003eOn the Internet\u003c\/em\u003e argues that there is much in common between the disembodied, free floating web and Descartes' separation of mind and body. Hubert Dreyfus also shows how Kierkegaard's insights into the origins of a media-obsessed public anticipate the web surfer, blogger and chat room. Drawing on studies of the isolation experienced by many internet users and the insights of philosopher such as Descartes and Kierkegaard, Dreyfus shows how the internet's privatisation of experience ignores essential human capacities such as trust, moods, risk, shared local concerns and commitment. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe second edition includes a brand new chapter on 'Second Life' and is revised and updated throughout. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHubert Dreyfus is Professor of Philosophy in the Graduate School at the University of California at Berkeley, USA. \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 7.6 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 01, 2009\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54089522676019,"sku":"9780415775168","price":73.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/Np0oYrhPuP9780415775168.webp?v=1789592022","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/on-the-internet-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
