Бесплатный фрагмент - History from the Zero. Post metamodernism

In 2015–2017 the basic meanings of this text were presented for the first time to the philosopher Robin van den Akker ( Erasmus University Rotterdam), co-author of the concept of metamodernism; to the philosophers Svetlana Krylova and Nazip Khamitov (Grigory Skovoroda Institute of Philosophy of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine), the authors of the concept of meta-anthropology (2017–2018).
On June 11, 2019, the full version of the paper was approved for independent release by Jacob Lund, Associate professor ( Aarhus University, School of Communication and Culture ) with reccomendations to clarify the aim of the research in the
next future.

HISTORY FROM THE ZERO
POST METAMODERNISM + constructive postmodern/ metamodern transformations INTRODUCTION 2017–2018 VIKTORIIA MANAGAROVA

The age of the sign is essentially theological

J. Derrida

ABSTRACT

The essay raises a new vision of the final End in postmodern condition, emerging through the crisis of dominants in current tendencies of metamodernism by Timotheus Vermeulen and Robin van den Akker, demonstrating also the impossibility of projecting the future of humanity, doomed endlessly to pursue the vanishing horizon. Despite this, making one well-directed step back, metamodernism found the valid key, oscillating with the shades of goodness for holistic happiness to open the gates of The Brilliant Age. This journey turned out to be long, overcoming 2018 years to discover the new world island of post metamodernism without evil. And this, of course, is not a mirage. This is the new sincere philosophy from the zero to demonstrate an obvious optimism and to open the last station for humanity, revealing the prospect of a beautiful and unbroken eternity of peace and harmony for everybody.

THE GREAT END IN POSTMODERN STATE

THE SEQUENCE OF OUTBREAKS OF THE LAST CENTURIES

LED TO THE GREAT END IN POSTMODERN STATE.

IT FINALLY CUT OFF ALL CONNECTIONS BETWEEN PAST

AND FUTURE. THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MINUS AND PLUS WERE ERASED. TIME DEMONSTRATED ELUSIVE FRAMES. TIME DEMONSTRATED AN INVISIBLE HUMAN FACE.

«Good is no longer the opposite of evil,

nothing can now be plotted on a graph or analyzed in terms of abscissas and ordinates».

In this boundless space of total indifference Love has lost its sources and the world divided into a state of unlimited “emptiness”

The greatness of prior sense were thrown away in various random directions. And cold irony spread around its parts through different islands.

«Indeed, we should really no longer speak of «value» at all,

for this kind of propagation or chain reaction makes all valuation impossible.

Once again we are put in mind of microphysics: it is as impossible to make estimations between beautiful and ugly, true and false…»

The planet seemed to be reduced to the size of a small point.

And a new historical chapter should have started from that moment.

HOWEVER, WHAT STORY COULD BE WRITTEN FROM NULL?

COULD THE WORLD HISTORY CONTINUE IN PRINCIPLE AFTER THE BIG END OF ALL THINGS? IN WHICH DIRECTION SHOULD EACH HUMAN PASS WITHOUT AN ABSOLUTE DOMINANT IN THE HEART?

     The weave of “Rhizome” made

      the existence of any centre impossible.

     “Grand narratives” were ruined.

     Everything descended into “deconstruction”,

     mocking all culture in numerous

     anachronistic shifts.

ARTIFICIAL MIND

     Artist George Condo created a clown-animal hybrid, displacing Man as a biological entity in his creative interpretation.

John Currin’s depictions of the Man represented the abject state.

We see people with pitchers and boots on heads that turned off themselves as living race. These creatures are floating along the current time without resistance and do not have any strength to move the history forward.

Matthew Barney changed his own existence to the existence of “a sheep”.

Artist Tracey Emin married a stone, because of systematic men’s disloyalty in her life.

Postmodern opened human as fiction in all his/her manifestations and made a global  “body without organs”.

J.Baudrillard notes that “the body was a metaphor for the soul” in the past, then it was a metaphor for gender

but today it is “no longer a metaphor for anything at all”.

Artificial intelligence has become a new trend, denying alive mind.

Marvin Minsky created “The Emotion Machine”.

In 2015 the cultural “icon” Robot Sophia was presented as a genius mechanism to the world by ex-worker of Disney company Dr. David Hanson for Hanson Robotics.

In 2017 Saudi Arabia granted citizenship to a robot for the first time ever.

Posthuman got a crown to be a leader of the future as a mutant which would be woven of blood and wires, forming

«the new age of spiritual machines»,

according to R. Kurzweil.

However, what kind of spirituality can be obtained by a machine created under the control of an imperfect human mind?

Robots cannot imitate fineness, which does not exist.

But robots will be able to escape from the control of imperfection and then mankind will become really vulnerable in this technical war.

This paradoxical situation described Isaak Azimov following Industrial transformations in the middle of the 20th century.

He created three laws of robotics in his fantastic tale “I, Robot”.

According to the first and the main law, a robot must protect a human being. However, the robot that has reached a higher level of development came to the conclusion, that people must be destroyed, because they were not worthy to be leaders of Nature.

Jos de Mul in the book “Romantic Desire in (Post) modern art and philosophy” sees a direct connection between the form of emptiness of Nietzsche’s “Übermensch”, existing beyond good and evil, and between the emptiness of real life in postmodern situation, generating the concept of posthuman that reveals the end of biological life on planet.

«… the ideal of «overcoming man’ plays a persistent role in the Romantic tradition. However, even in Nietzsche’s radical prophesy of the Übermensch the «overcoming’ aims at another type of man and not so much at his extinction. Similarly, in the postmodern prophesy of the «death of man’ (cf.Foucault,1974) this death does not concern man as species, but a specific metaphysical conception of man. Moravec’s vision can be conceived of as a fundamental radicalization of the Romantic prophesy insofar he predicts a real end of the life of the species Homo sapiens. It radicalizes Nietzsche’s idea that man only is a rope, stretched between ape and Übermensch. In Moravec’s vision this Übermensch will be build not out of carbon, but out of silicon instead».

SO, WHY HAVE HISTORY OF MAN STOPPED?

WHY HAVE MAN DISAPPEARED FROM HISTORY?

The idea of disappearance of Man is connected precisely with the fact that Man could not exist beyond the line where God cannot exist.
