Communication on the Horizon of Technology. Philosophical and Theological Perspectives.
This study proposes an assessment of how technology influences interpersonal communication and human thinking. In this respect, the contributions of some authors who have asserted themselves as philosophers of technology will be underscored, their reflections being essential to the understanding of communication media, and especially to understanding how they work on different levels of human communication (with self, with other people, with the world, with divinity).
