Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book argues that the digital revolution constitutes an anthropological turning point in human history. It examines the rise of a new procedural humanity Homo Externatus born from a profound cultural shift betweenlogos, the symbolic foundation of thought grounded in language, truth, causality, and meaning, and arithmos , a procedural, a-semantic metaculture driven by calculation and correlation. Humanity is moving from a culture of differentiation, between true and false, good and evil, man and God, toward one of de-differentiation, where everything becomes calculable and thus comparable. Drawing on psychoanalysis, social theory, and geo-economic analysis, the book explores how digitalization, while seemingly unifying, actually fragments our society of individuals ; and asks whether it might herald the advent of a new form of totalitarianism.Scholars, researchers, and students in social sciences, digital studies, philosophy and psychoanalysis will find this book invaluable. It offers a unique blend of insights, combining social sciences with psychoanalysis to illuminate the new interplay between the psychic and the social in the digital age. This book is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the transformative impact of digitalization on human psyche, thought and society.
