Can We Find the Community We Crave in Virtual Communities?

This podcast is excerpts from the chapter, “Exploring Virtual Community”, chapter eight, from Douglas Groothuis, The Soul in Cyberspace (Baker, 1997). I have added some commentary along the way. 

1. The need for civility
2. Computers, love. and community
3. “On the Internet, nobody knows you are a dog.”
4. Cyberspace, Sensibilities, and Community

On the philosophy of the Internet, see also Quentin Schulz, Habits of the High Tech Heart. On the philosophy of technology in general, see Neil Postman, Technopoly.
