In her numerous works Sybille Krämer has developed a comprehensive and far reaching philosophy of knowledge, language, intersubjectivity and the media. Based on her groundbreaking studies of mathematical notation and the diagram in arts and sciences (Schriftbildlichkeit) she has formed a wide-ranging philosophical theory of thinking in writing and image (Thinking with Diagrams, 2016), language and the media (Medium, Messenger, Transmission, 2015), and on witness-bearing as a basic form of being human (Testimony-bearing Witness, 2017). Today, Sybille Krämer is one the leading original thinkers in Europe bridging sciences and the humanities, media studies and the arts.
