Abstract

A critical inquiry of the philosophical fundamentals in a pre-internet Age of the 1960ies and 1970ies. The monograph starts with the essentials of Chomsky's communication theory, makes a critical assessment on the social and psychological turns of body language and brings out relevant analytic points of Kierkegaard's, Nietzsche's, Heidegger's and Jasper's existential philosophy. It prepares the framework and the preriquisites of a global 'Age of Access'.
