摘要

In this commentary on the paper “Understanding Philosophical Media: From Philosophy of Technology to ‘Technologies of Philosophy’”, I praise Giacomo Pezzano and Marco Pavanini for drawing theoretical attention to the fact that philosophy is technologically mediated. First, I discuss their categorization of basic media through which humans can express their ideas, emphasizing the need to focus more on how these media enable such expression. Second, I voice some skepticism regarding the authors’ assertion that we should reconstitute philosophy in line with the different media context of the present. Finally, I argue that acknowledging language’s primacy as a philosophical medium is not necessarily a form of conservative technological determinism. My comments are not intended to diminish the importance of the paper. Quite the contrary, they aim to contribute to further research on the topic.
