Going beyond the hype of the cybercrowd, Dreyfus, a celebrated writer on philosophy and technology, asks whether the internet can really bring humanity to a new level of community and solve the problems of mass education. Drawing on a diverse array of thinkers from Plato to Kierkegaard, <i>On the Internet</i> is one of the first books to bring philosophical insight to the debate on how far the internet can and cannot take us. In discussing recent studies on the isolation experienced by many internet users, Dreyfus shows how the internet's privatization of experience ignores essential human capacities such as trust, moods, risk, shared local concerns and commitment.</P> 592746 book 18 5 2001 On the Internet (Thinking in Action) total:21|5:5|4:6|3:4|2:3|1:3| 21 70 40 4 5 0 false false Thu Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Mon Aug 13 20:06:32 -0700 2007 Mon Nov 19 12:22:48 -0800 2007 more...]]> 1 0 false false Fri Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Fri May 08 21:33:19 -0700 2009 Fri May 08 21:35:01 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Thu Sep 03 19:26:00 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 03 19:26:40 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Fri Sep 11 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 08 05:56:54 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 11 11:12:37 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Nov 29 14:45:51 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 29 14:46:23 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Nov 28 22:52:33 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 28 22:52:33 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Fri Nov 13 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 13 12:38:59 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 13 12:39:42 -0800 2009 2 0 0 false false Sun Nov 01 08:37:24 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 01 08:37:24 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Sep 27 08:13:08 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 27 08:13:14 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Aug 13 09:27:16 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 13 09:27:16 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Aug 08 16:40:55 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 08 17:35:19 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 17 02:11:07 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 17 02:11:20 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu Jul 16 01:22:27 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 16 01:22:27 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jul 08 21:41:21 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 08 21:41:21 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jul 08 21:41:16 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 08 21:41:16 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Mon Jun 22 09:15:20 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 22 09:15:26 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Fri May 15 20:30:27 -0700 2009 Fri May 15 20:30:27 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu May 14 09:14:50 -0700 2009 Thu May 14 09:14:50 -0700 2009 1 0 false false Fri Apr 17 18:18:41 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 17 18:18:41 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Apr 15 04:28:57 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 15 04:28:58 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=606199
