With the evolution of human understanding and transforming nature, the connotation of "man-technology-world" is also changing, which is different from the experience relationship, interpretation relationship, other relationship and background relationship between man and technology proposed by American technology philosopher Don Ed in "Technology and Life World".
From a large historical scale, the connotation of "man-technology-world" has roughly experienced three stages of evolution: from technology extending the human body, to technology projecting the world, until technology reconstructing people themselves.
Focusing on the future, a new subjective and objective relationship has been established between Cyberberg with the connotation of "man-technology" and the "technology-world" after technological reconstruction, which is also the future world described by post-anthropological philosophy.
In this regard, yuval harari, an Israeli historian, also said in A Brief History of Mankind that when the future bio-crossover technology transforms the human body, human beings will not be what they are today. Of course, similar views can be seen in the works published in the early years, such as Brave New World, Science and Technology and Civilization.
Some translated works in recent years, such as Our Post-human Future, Super-human Revolution and How We Become Post-human, are also paying attention to similar problems.
Of course, when we talk about this issue today, we can only recognize it from science fiction movies. From Avatar, Star Trek and other works, we can see that there is a general trend of change between today's human existence and the future human-computer mixture.
In the future, for people, biological crossover technology is gradually transforming itself, and mechanical life is gradually coming into reality. For things, after being empowered by artificial intelligence, we will usher in a fully intelligent "brain society".
The integration of the two will bring us into a post-human era in the future. The general characteristics of this era are man-machine integration, internet of everything, information integration and pervasive computing.
A brief introduction to the post-human era is as follows:
For such a post-human era, inspired by Katherine Heller's How We Become Post-human: Fictitious Bodies in Literature, Information Science and Cybernetics, from the perspective of philosophy of technology, the author believes that according to previous cognition, human beings are essentially organisms with free will, cohesive cognition, physical embodiment and unique emotions.
Future people will no longer be pure people. In the view of post-anthropological philosophy, the essence of traditional human beings is facing the fate of being deconstructed. People's cognition is not condensed but dispersed, and people's embodiment is not material but information, and people's emotions are not unique but * * *.
Post-human is essentially a heterogeneous and heterogeneous collection or mixture. It has no transcendental, independent and free will, nor solid, tangible and limited life, but as a "material-information" complex, it constantly interacts with the environment and constructs its own boundaries and life.
