Abstract

 The present article aims to demonstrate, starting from navigation and shipwreck as metaphors for the human existence and the current state of western civilization, how the thinking of Vilém Flusser contributes to an ethical conduct in the epoch of digital imagination and the technical images. Flusser is one of the few media theorists and of the digital technologies, which offers, through basic concepts a dignified answer for the destructive misadventure in which humanity find their self on behalf of not only the virtual spaces and realities.
