Famous French sociologist Jean Baudrillard... Especially his comments and philosophical studies in many areas of visual culture have come into my focus recently. It is truly extraordinary in conceptualizing the realities and illusions that modernity and post-modernity have brought and imposed on us... Perspective is a great help in making sense of how images work in the visual age we live in, the illusions of the consumer society, and the seductive handicaps of advertising and fashion. He practically begs us to see all these issues he deals with in their true dimensions and to be alert...
Here too we find fragments of Baudrillard's evasive philosophy and their elucidation. The author analyzed a corpus of Baudrillard's writings and books and presented and interpreted the main basic issues under headings.
In my opinion, if there is a lesson we can learn from Baudrillard's philosophy, it is that we should strive to go beyond our established categories of knowledge and meaning about visuality.
