Abstract
Faced with the failure of humanism and its task of man-taming, Sloterdijk thinks about the circumstances of our world from the standpoint of anthropotechnics, that is, a perspective that emphasizes man’s technical development, unveiling the implications for the human condition of contemporary technological society, saturated with information but unconcerned with the kind of reflective thought that characterized the philosophy of the past. Rethinking man from a biocultural and process-driven approach involves the rejection, once again and with renewed depth, of the humanist essentialism that pervaded philosophy before Heidegger.
