Abstract

Media and Our Understanding of the World (and Our Place in It). – The article focuses on our experience in the age of mass media. It explores relations between mediated experience, human authenticity and the dichotomy of sacred and profane. It raises a question, if we are able to distinguish easily between the important (which is what matters most in life) and the unimportant.
