摘要: 建构媒介存在论的目的是为新媒介文艺研究奠定哲学基础。媒介存在论是相对于媒介认识论、媒介本体论而言的,以现代哲学存在论为依托的一种后形而上学媒介哲学思想。媒介哲学的相关讨论和传统本体论向现代存在论的转型研究构成了媒介存在论提出和研究的主要理论语境。媒介存在论由“存在即信息”“媒介即信息”“媒介即存在”三个具有内在逻辑性的命题构成。媒介存在论认为:存在可以通过存在者的信息活动得到阐释。任何信息都是媒介中的信息,不存在媒介之外的自发、自在的信息。当存在者发挥媒介性功能时即为媒介。居间、谋合、容纳、赋形、生产等活动性质构成了媒介之为媒介的“媒介性”。在媒介性存在关系中存在方可显现。处于媒介位置的此在、语言等媒介性活动构成了存在的重要展开方式。媒介在根本上即存在“在起来”的境域,存在即存在者的“媒—介”化活动方式。

Abstract: To construct media ontology is to lay a philosophical foundation for the research into new media literature and art. Media ontology, compared with media epistemology and media ousiaology, is a post-metaphysical media philosophy grounded on the theories of modern ontology, and the theoretical context is constructed by the theoretical reflections from the perspective of media philosophy and the studies on the transition from classic ontology to modern ousiaology. The three illogically interconnected propositions of media ontology are "to be is to inform," "the medium is information" and "media is being." In this light, being can be interpreted through information activities of existents, and all information is mediated and no information is self-contained and exists in itself. When existents function to intermediate in such activities as intermediation, collaboration, containment, configuration and production, they become media and show in the relations of mediating existence. When presence and language are mediating activities, they help to construct the important expansive way of existence. Media are essentially the field in which existence becomes, and existence is the activity in which the existent is mediated.

Key words: media ontology, to be is to inform, the medium is information, media is being
