These collected studies on the philosophy of the image offer the
fundamental insight that images alone make the artificial presence
of things possible. Images present things as exclusively visible,
released from the laws of physics. Taking this idea as his point of
departure, Wiesing provides an overview of the fundamental
positions in contemporary image studies. He describes the use of
images as signs from a phenomenological perspective, reconstructs
Plato's concept of mimesis by way of the canon of images it
presupposes, and demonstrates the special relevance of extreme
types of images-- virtual reality, desktop windows, or abstract
photography--for the philosophical labor of the concept of the
image.
