THE INVENTION OF HUMAN: BIOLOGY AND TECHNOLOGY AS EXISTENCE

THE INVENTION OF HUMAN: BIOLOGY AND TECHNOLOGY AS EXISTENCE

Listik, Yonathan

Artigo:

How does the body and the mechanism of life connect to the notion of existence? Using whatStiegler terms by the invention of the human as the basic question to deal with, I am seeking, in this article,how I can take advantage of Jonas to talk about the human condition. That is, using Stiegler’s idea thathuman existence is rooted in its mechanisms/technology, I intend to explore how Jonas’ theories on therelation between biology and existence make room for a theory of the human condition that does notdemand an absolute truth but is conditioned on existence itself instead. The goal is not to argue whatStiegler would say about Jonas. This article is an attempt to answer the ontological question of existence,such as Stiegler proposes it, using the same arguments proposed by Jonas and then extract a theory of lifeand its senses from this.
