Vilém Flusser: Vom Zweifel. Als Band I der Edition Flusser erschien im Verlag European Photography Vilém Flussers Traktat "Vom Zweifel", ein Frühwerk aus brasilianischer Zeit, das als philosophische Basis seiner späteren Foto- und Medientheorie gelten kann: "Der Zweifel ist ein vielbedeutender Geisteszustand. Er kann das Ende eines Glaubens sein, er kann aber zu einem neuen Glaubens führen. Der Zweifel beendet jede Gewißheit. Im extremen Fall kann man ihn als ‚Skepsis’ ansehen, als eine Art umgekehrten Glauben. In kleiner Dosis regt der Zweifel das Denken an, in übermäßig großer Dosis paralysiert er es. Als intellektuelle Erfahrung ist der Zweifel eines der reinen Vergnügen, als moralische Erfahrung ist er eine Qual. Zusammen mit der Neugier ist der Zweifel die Wiege der Forschung, folglich die Wiege eines jeden systematischen Denkens. In kleinen Tropfen tötet der Zweifel die Neugier und beendet jedes Wissen." – Vilém Flusser: Vom Zweifel. Übersetzung aus dem Portugiesischen von Edith Flusser. 64 Seiten, broschiert EUR 22,00

Vilém Flusser: Standpunkte. Texte zur Fotografie (Edition Flusser Band VIII). Flussers Essay "Für eine Philosophie der Fotografie", 1983 erschienen, löste im deutschen Sprachraum eine lebhafte Debatte über das Kulturphänomen Fotografie aus, an der sich der Autor auf mannigfache Weise beteiligte. In der Folge entstanden zahlreiche Exposés, Skizzen und Werkanalysen sowie vertiefende und weiterführende Essays und Vorträge, die der vorliegende Band nahezu vollständig dokumentiert. Er zeigt Flussers zentrales Interesse am Medium Fotografie seit Ende der 70er Jahre und bestätigt ihn als einen der maßgebenden Kritiker und Philosophen der Fotografie dieses Jahrhunderts. "Ich bin ganz sicher, daß es die Aufgabe des denkenden Menschen ist, Standpunkte zu akkumulieren, eine Mehrzahl von Standpunkten zu haben. Ich interessiere mich für die Fotografie, weil die fotografische Kamera der erste Apparat ist, der gebaut wurde, um von Standpunkt zu Standpunkt zu springen. Nicht gleiten! Ich bin nicht begeistert vom Film. Springen!" (Vilém Flusser im Gespräch mit Klaus Nüchtern am 6.10.1990). Edition Flusser, Band VIII. 256 Seiten, 12 Abbildungen, Fadenheftung. Broschiert EUR 26,00, gebunden EUR 36,00
