The Ways of Books
Dorota CHABRAJSKA
John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin , PolandAbstract
An essay on the social impact of the transformation of the medium of books, as seen in the light of Marshall McLuhan’s observation, “The medium is the message.” The author shows that books, as a medium, are irreplaceable in the Western culture, which is ‘the culture of the written word,’ and points that despite their varied influence on this culture they still represent—to the Western mind—the values of truth and beauty.
