Among other things, any physical principle that is presently theorized to be based on continuous functions of any kind, must be supposed to actually be an approximation of an underlying computational process.

Arts from Africa became increasingly prominent in the public consciousness, because of their geometrical nature, their perceived reaching for original or basic drives, and their phantastmagoric quality, such as is seen by ceremonial masks.
This related to the ideas in the sciences of describing "physical laws" - there was an ideal, objective truth, and art was part of the process by which people discovered and presented it.
With the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche, there was an increasing stance that the purpose of art and philosophy was to critique rather than lead forces.

 Daedelus on DRM. The Philosophy of Digital Rights Management explored.
To understand the technicalities of Digital Rights Management the first thing to understand is perhaps the most fundamental law of modern cryptography; Kerckhoffs's axiom.
Keys, rather than encryption algorithms, lie at the heart of the science of secrecy, a principle, that was first explicitly stated as an axiom by the Dutch linguist and cryptographer August Kerckhoffs von Nieuwenhof in 1883.
And the problem - or rather the impossibility in Digital Rights Management is that you need to both give the viewer r user of content the keys - and hide them at the same time.

 Review: Community in the digital age - philosophy and practice.
The explicit aim of Community in the digital age is to illustrate all the sides of the Internet debate, both pessimistic and more optimistic and embrace different viewpoints - a goal that is achieved quite satisfactorily.
Albert Borgmann, Regent's Professor of Philosophy at the University of Montana, expounds the concept of community even further, traces its history, and also defends it a little against the regular liberal critique.
A totally different approach is luckily provided by the sociological or social contructivist analysis of cyberspace and digital networking, often based on some kind of empirical reseach of what ordinary people actually do on the Net while participating in different online social groups, and what kind of personal meaning they create by communicating with others.
