Unilinear writing produces an artificial understanding of justice, freedom of speech and hermeneutics. In contrast, hypertextual writing promises an optimistic future which involves less judgment, more empathy and the embracing of difference, so vital in post-truth culture.

Hypertextual writing will have a marked impact on fields like jurisprudence, social sciences and education. This book presents hope for the unrepresented by considering how social justice and authentic freedom of speech could be better tackled through hypertextual writing. This work also offers key insights for all those looking for a critical and creative form of pedagogy.

Rethinking Ethics Through Hypertext is a formidably compelling source of insights for those who are interested in subjects ranging from moral philosophy, social justice, hermeneutics and education. It reconciles traditional theories of ethics by re-framing them through hypertextual techniques, bringing together contrasting and contradictory ethical views.

Industry Reviews

Discourse ethics, as a meta-text, has provided the means to judge whether particularistic desires and interests are morally right or wrong, says Garcia, and he explores the shortcomings of such a mode of unilinearity and its effects on discourse ethics in particular, arguing that it may not be effective enough for an exhaustive expressability. As an alternative, he introduces hypertext writing, what he calls Multiplicity of Discursive Paths, that gives individuals a better emancipatory expressability-uncastigated by the chronology of a rigid method of expression-so much needed in a post-truth culture.
