Abstract

The aim of the current work is to study, from an interdisciplinary epistemological approach, the relevance or validity of the Heideggerian view on the western decadence in the infosphere, by means of the virtual superseding of space-time brought by the new information and communication technologies (NICT) in the mid 20th century. As I will try to show, the ontic phenomenon of instant communication does nothing but highlight and strengthen in the historical and vital praxis the «fullest forgetfulness of being» theorized by Heidegger on an ontological level.
