SPRINGERBRIEFS IN PHILOSOPHY ARNHEIM GESTALT ...

This monograph presents a synthesis and reconstruction of Rudolf Arnheim's theory of media.
Combining both Arnheim's well-known writings on film and radio with his later work on the
psychology of art  the author presents a coherent approach to the problem of the nature of a
medium  space and time  and the differentia between different media. The latent ontological
commitments of Arnheim's theories is drawn out by affirming Arnheim's membership in the
Brentano school of Austrian philosophy  which allows his theories to be clarified and
strengthened  particularly with the metaphysical writings of Roman Ingarden. The resulting
theory is relational  portraying essential medial differences with neutral criteria and
allowing for a rigorous definition of a medium. The way in which a medium is based on the
inherent dispositions of medial materials creates a highly appealing theory that is determinate
without being deterministic. The theory is thus highly timely as people in media studies seekto
address the determinate nature of media after the post-medium condition. The book will appeal
to researchers and graduate students in cultural and media studies as well as architecture and
design.
