Una ordinaria rarefazione. Brevi cenni sul nesso tra tecnologia e natura umana nell’orizzonte del transumanesimo

n this essay, an attempt is made to survey the impact of the most recent technological achievements on everyday life. On the one hand, we seem to be witness- ing a decrease in the critical spirit of which the feeling of general plausibility that accompanies technological developments is a sign; on the other hand, we cannot fail to note how redefinitions, often ideologically oriented, of the components of the human are in fact imposing them- selves, through which the transhumanist project seems to be making its way. In the light of these findings, transformations of the paradigm of experience seem to accredit an overcoming of the traditional model of homo sapiens in the direction of a complete devaluation of the role of nature and in favour of what has been defined «persona creatus». The essay proposes a critical evaluation of these developments.
