520 3 Not simply as an object but rather as an immersive agency
in which nature, knowledge, technique merge. The
transcendence of the actual and the virtual into a "third"
element is construed and analyzed in this book through
conceptual schemes that rely on a post-binary or non-
binary understanding of coincidences, triangulations,
hybrids, or post-human combinatorics. What is ultimately
explored is how transcendence is ejected from strictly
theological, philosophical, or scientific groundings and
emerges as a germinating point of becoming (something
else).
520 3 Each of the contributions in this book addresses - through
its own peculiar perspective, method and experimental
style - a new way to approach the role of transcendence in
socio-cultural life.In the Occidental history of ideas,
the notion of transcendence has received at least three
canonical articulations that are challenged by this book:
religious (Judeo-Christian traditions), philosophical
(Platonic-intellectual universality of ideas), and
scientific (the objective and technological turn of
knowledge). Nonetheless, it is with the rise of
cybernetics, with its digital and virtual modalities of
systems, networks, and knowledge, that our human
environment emerges as a source of knowledge in itself --.
520 3 Hephaestus Reloaded / Efesto Reloaded, presented in a
bilingual (English/Italian) publication, and whose five
authors are from Greece, Italy, and the US, invokes as its
first inspiration the myth of Hephaestus who embodied a
twofold entity: both disabled and technically capacious.
The myth of Hephaestus has been passed across the
centuries as an ancient metaphor signifying the idea of
becoming-world, in which any distinction between the
natural and the artificial, or the organic and the
technical, is blurred. Human beings, by virtue of their
physical vulnerabilities and limits, have enhanced their
technological powers to the point of transcending their
own given nature. At present, a variety of critical
discourses in disciplines such as philosophy, history,
aesthetics, and cognitive sciences pay attention to our
becoming-hybrid (organic and mechanical beings) -
unleashing a space for research that probes the concept of
transcendence.-.
