<i>Sonic Thinking</i> makes a significant contribution to the field of sound studies and sonic philosophy. Bernd Herzogenrath brings together a collection of key theorists, artists, musicians, and sound researchers to show us how âthinking with soundâ enables us to grasp the resonance of the world without-us, that realm of cosmological entanglements between humans and nonhumans. The âacoustic turnâ explored here presents sound in terms of intensity and vibration as opposed to the metaphysics of being, representation and identity. Sound matter is not contained through hylomorphic ontology, rather this collection of sonic researchers and artists present an alternative process-orientated ontology that is based on becoming: sound entities are events that are contingent actualizations of virtual potential.

<i>Sonic Thinking </i>reminds us that listening is a deep dimension of intelligence, and a call to be more fully present in the world around us.

Media not only determine our situation, as Friedrich Kittler has it; rather, our situation, our life, our thoughts only enfold and execute themselves within the medial field in the first place. Film-Philosophy has already shown that 'film thinks'. If we take this a step further, relating this approach to the whole range of media production, but also take a step back, and see what this approach basically means, we begin to see the seeds of a new Media Philosophy worthy of the name - not talking about media by way of 'philosophy proper', safeguarding disciplinary boundaries, but by realizing the philosophical qualities and impacts of each medium: it all starts from the assumption that our memory, perception, and thinking is not just a given, as an internal process that takes place behind the wall of our skull and is purely mental - there is always a 'material basis' of mediation.
The thinking media series publishes original, innovative, and transdisciplinary monographs and edited collections that advance debates in the nexus of media studies, philosophy, and the 'new sciences' (such as cognitive neurosciences and complexity theory).
