How to Design Concepts: on the Media of Philosophy

In his insightful commentary on our article “Understanding Philosophical Media”, Ritter welcomes the call to take seriously the technologies and media of philosophy, while also voicing criticism and scepticism. In this short reply, we respond by engaging with what we consider to be his three most probing questions: (1) How do media actually mediate philosophy? (2) Is language the best philosophical medium? (3) What is philosophy?

Abstract

In his insightful commentary on our article “Understanding Philosophical Media”, Ritter welcomes the call to take seriously the technologies and media of philosophy, while also voicing criticism and scepticism. In this short reply, we respond by engaging with what we consider to be his three most probing questions: (1) How do media actually mediate philosophy? (2) Is language the best philosophical medium? (3) What is philosophy?
