Eine Einführung in die Wissenschaftsphilosophie

Despite some tendencies in more recent research, there is still a need for a close linking of research in the history of emotionality with questions in media theory. This is the starting point for the present volume, which enquires into the effects on contemporary concepts of love of the "scriptorality" of European culture in the period from the 11th to 15th centuries. The various papers on medieval Latin, German and Italian literature focus not only on the materiality and pragmatics of the medium, but also the concept of mediality and the written tradition.
