Od filozofii designu do fenomenologii gestów. Vilém Flusser o tym, jak się rzeczy mają
From the philosophy of design to the phenomenology of gestures. Vilém Flusser on the state of things

Summary/Abstract: This article aims at presenting general outline of, what is called here, Vilém Flusser’s philosophy of things and it arises from two different fields of interest. First one is the philosophy of design: reflexions on today’s status of objects that we can find in our environment; mostly, Flusser focuses on media and technology. Second field appears within Flusser’s phenomenology of gestures – a theory which deals with the interaction between man and objects; but the emphasis here is put on the way objects “produce” us – not the other way around. Those two fields are presented and interpreted in the first two paragraphs of this paper. The last part is devoted to four other theoreticians: Deyan Sudjic, Wolfgang Welsch, Lev Manovich and Bruno Latour. Here the author draws a parallel between those thinkers and Flusser in the context of the theory of design, aesthetics and others.
