A priori, racjomorfizm i sprawczość we współczesnej komunikacji
A priori, ratiomorphism and agency in contemporary communication

Summary/Abstract: In my paper, I argue that in contemporary communicaton, which is dominated by modern media technologies, Kant’s forms of pure visibility (such as space), as well as categories (like causality), lose their a priori character. The process of the disappearance of old apriorisms and substituting them with one new – ratiomorphism, is connected with a radical modification in communicative agency. It is a kind of paradox of contemporary communication: on the one hand, modern media technologies significantly strengthen the agency of communication, on the other hand, they weaken it substantially – because they subject it to ratiomorphic constraints.
