The issue of literacy in contemporary society is addressed through a genealogical, phenomenological, deconstructive exploration of three contexts within which any discussion of literacy must be located: gunpowder, Protestantism, & printing; postmodernism; & the transition from ideology to an ecology of consciousness exemplified by the new biology.

Postmodernism has affected literacy by its focus on the plurality of meanings in the world, & the new biology has affected literacy by problematizing the Enlightenment assumption about rationality & the mechanical quality of nature.
