The text compares and examines the similarities and differences between
aesthetics and philosophy of media in the historical context, as well as in
the present time. Also, the article establishes the position of aesthetics
and philosophy of media in relation to philosophy, that is, metaphysics
(ontology), as well as other related theoretical disciplines. Considering
the fact that philosophy of media, despite the appearance of its subject in
ancient times, is a relatively new and insufficiently researched field of
investigation, all the mentioned comparisons can only be taken
conditionally, referring to the initial points of view and the current
knowledge, available and handled in this field of research. Therefore, the
article is a kind of anticipatory ?analysis?, based more on intuition than
on rational argumentation, but perhaps it can be useful for future research
on this issue.
