THE ANTROPO-TECHNIQUES FROM PETER SLOTERDIJK: THE GENETIC ENGINEERING AND THE INFORMATION AS TECHNIQUES FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE CONTEMPORARY MEN
https://doi.org/10.22383/ri.v16i1.66

Authors

Diana Melisa Paredes Oviedo

How is subjectivity formed regarding cultural transformation and interiorization through new technicality? A digitalized technicality, which in turn, becomes a support for the display of subjectivity and a new device of the contemporary power. For its approach, a Peter Sloterdijk proposal is followed. This author presents the urge of an operable individual who finds in the genetic engineering a field for the improvement and for the achievement of the homeostatic equilibrium which makes community life possible. It is about an anthropological-philosophical reflection, in which the superficial criticism is overtaken and which claims the supposed antagonism among technique, humanity and culture.

Abstract

How is subjectivity formed regarding cultural transformation and interiorization through new technicality? A digitalized technicality, which in turn, becomes a support for the display of subjectivity and a new device of the contemporary power. For its approach, a Peter Sloterdijk proposal is followed. This author presents the urge of an operable individual who finds in the genetic engineering a field for the improvement and for the achievement of the homeostatic equilibrium which makes community life possible. It is about an anthropological-philosophical reflection, in which the superficial criticism is overtaken and which claims the supposed antagonism among technique, humanity and culture.
