In 1963 Vilem Flusser presented a series of lectures at the
Brazilian Institute of Philosophy (IBF) in Sao Paulo concerning the
philosophy of language. The resulting ten essays would eventually
be published in 1965 in the annual magazine of the Brazilian
Institute of Technology and Aeronautics (ITA), and published here
for the first time in book form. Flusser prepared each lecture as a
response to the dialogs that followed the preceding lecture,
thereby expanding and explicating his philosophy of language in an
intense dialogical process. Despite the fact that the other side of
the dialogue was not recorded, it becomes clear to the reader that
the resulting discussions and polemics generated by the lectures
progressively and profoundly changed Flusser's intended trajectory
for the course. This kind of philosophy in fieri was in part the
result of a group effort between all of those present, and
subsequently synthesized by Flusser in every essay. As a result of
this experience, Flusser adopted this dialogic method as an
integral part of his future work.
