Author: D. E. Wittkower
Format: Paperback
Number of Pages: 288
A fascinating, amusing, and almost disorientingly wide-ranging exploration of Facebook in particular and social media in general, with discussion moving smoothly from drunken photographs to Barack Obama to virtual sheep-tossing to ironic tweets to European toilet design-it's just as varied and lively as your News Feed itself. Facebook and Philosophy is a thorough, entertaining, and multi-faceted exploration of what Facebook means for us and for our relationships. Writers from a variety of fields come together here to put the Facebook experience in perspective, in discussions ranging from the nature of friendship and its relationship to 'friending,' to the (debatable) efficacy of 'online activism.' As the most extensive and systematic attempt to understand Facebook yet, while fun and thought-provoking, it is also of serious and significant value to anyone working with social media, whether in academia or in journalism, public relations, activism, or business.
