Technology, Posthumanism and Experience [Spanish]
Keywords:
Filosofía contemporánea, filosofía de la técnica, filosofía políticaAbstract
This paper proposes a reflection on technology and on the conditions of a critique of technology in the contemporary horizon of the exhaustion of the humanistic paradigms from which that criticism was traditionally formulated. The argument states that the question about technique should be distinguished from the (instrumental) question about technical devices, i.e., it must break with the humanist assumption of the exteriority between technology and humanity. Once assumed this posthumanist scene, the paper analyzes different possible positions in that scene, ranging from anthropotechnical cynicism to radical post-identitarian experimentalism. Finally, the paper postulates that the making available of language (as transparency) and temporality (as speed) are the main parameters of contemporary capitalism of information. In response, the fundamental challenge of a radical posthumanism is to open an experience of language and of temporality outside any form of availability.
