Virtuale e ethos della trascendenza

This essay’s aim is to provide a framework for the analysis of limits and chances of religious experience in the Informational Society. The first step is a short presentation of what is today Digital Religion, finding in this research field the point of view starting from which this contribution was conceived: the so called Existential Media Studies. The second step is a definition of the terms of Virtual Reality and Trascendence Ethos: the first term is redefined through a line of thinking starting from Aristoteles up to some recent perspectives of the contemporary phlosophy; the second one is contextualized into the actual position of the man in the history. Starting from this, it was possible to individualize three main contexts into which the Trascendence Ethos could express itself: anthropology, ontology, episthemology.
