Człowiek w dobie mediów; media w dobie biotechnologii
Man in the Age of Media - Media in the Age of Biotechnology

Summary/Abstract: The author, by placing media in a broader context of the biotechnological paradigm and development of civilisation, reaches a number of conclusions concerning nature/environment, culture and ethics. He argues that biotechnology not only constitutes an extension of biosphere but also assumes some of its functions. Moreover he notes that biotechnology is inseparable from mercantilism: being structurally similar, they support and reinforce each other. Humankind, in turn, is forced to abandon its natural-evolutional, cultural and ethical path of development and is encouraged to enter another one, characterised by the development of artificial biotechnological environment.
