Hypertextual writing provides a model for re-thinking the relationship between technology and all forms of cultural production.
The purpose of this is not, however, to suggest that philosophy was necessarily in some way cognisant of a future possibility of hypertext, nor is it simply concerned with a retrospective glance at philosophy from the position of current computing technologies.
Rather, it is to examine how philosophers are aware of their own position against and within contemporary developments in the sciences and electronic media, and that philosophy incorporated material from these developments into its texts.
