On the Human Condition

Více o knize

Exploring the implications of cloning, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence, this work examines the concept of humanity in a potentially "posthuman" future. Dominique Janicaud challenges both apocalyptic and conservative views, advocating for a nuanced understanding of our human condition. By referencing genetic engineering, the Frankenstein myth, and thinkers like Pascal and Primo Levi, he emphasizes the fragile nature of being human. Ultimately, he argues for a collective approach to navigating a world that may already be posthuman, highlighting the importance of shared experiences.
