Into Immaterial Culture

Título: Into Immaterial Culture

Autor: Vilém Flusser

Sinopse: During the age of lights, such culminating point in our history, a point when reason was irrationally deified, the triumph of alphabetic culture seemed to be within reach: individuals, and society, apt to live reasonably in full delight of their imaginative capabilities. However, a rational attitude involves a critical attitude, not only in relation to imagination and the other mental faculties, but also in relation to rationality itself. The further discursive reason develops, the more it becomes critical of itself. Until it selfdestructs. This suicide of reason, whose ultimate victims are the ones of my generation, results in the emergence of a new post-rational and antirational irrationalism, which is supported by discursive reason. Thus, a new imagination emerges, supported by the concepts of reason in order to negate them. Photography is the first product of this new type of irrationalism.
