Dis-umano. Anders e l'antropologia filosofica

After the war the philosophical anthropology of Anders is centred on the notion of Promethean difference: human beings are struck by the perfection of their products and believe to be inferior to them. Human beings are ashamed of not been made. The self-reification of the human beings that we can find in the human engineering, for instance, can be considered as something positive as it makes them more similar to products. There is a corresponding event on the objective side of experience: the idealistic reduction of the world, which is produced by the transformation of things into economic goods. Human beings do not need to have an experience of the world as the goods brings with themselves, thanks to the cultural industry that transforms them into images, the necessary information and evaluations. What Anders fears now is to have a world without human beings.
