Oltre la tecno-fobia/mania: prospettive di “tecno-realismo” a partire dall’antropologia filosofica
Pezzano, Giacomo

Abstract
The paper proposes a rethinking of the “Techniksfrage” and the “post-humanism”
focused on the discussion of the human nature and the man’s place in the world. 0)
“Philosophy of technology” went in search of an Universal Essence of The Technology,
ending with the construction of the opposition “techno-phobics/techno-maniacs”: it
forgot the plurality of the technologies, and represented the technology as an
unsurpassable destiny (Evil or Good). 1) Indeed, a “philosophical anthropology of the
technology” makes it possible to think the relationship man/technology in a “soberly
realistic” way: if man is naturally un-natural, the technological animal because of his
relational openness to the world, then technai express the modes through which he relates
to the world and “declines” his generic nature. 2) Therefore, we cannot oppose a “subject”
(human/natural) to an “object” (artificial/unnatural): we have to understand the faktum
of the relation which constitutes both them as always opened (subjectile and objectile). 3)
According to this, the post-human could be thought as a overcoming-uplifting (post) of
the evolutionary and existential logic that characterizes the human nature (human): a
over-humanistic horizon could not be realistically conceived without the body, ec-centric
center of human action – of the possible domination of the domination of nature.
