It examines the rise of a new procedural humanity―Homo Externatus―born from a profound cultural shift between logos, the symbolic foundation of thought grounded in language, truth, causality, and meaning, and “arithmos”, a procedural, a-semantic metaculture driven by calculation and correlation. Humanity is moving from a culture of differentiation, between true and false, good and evil, man and God, toward one of de-differentiation, where everything becomes calculable and thus comparable. Drawing on psychoanalysis, social theory, and geo-economic analysis, the book explores how digitalization, while seemingly unifying, actually fragments our “society of individuals”; and asks whether it might herald the advent of a new form of totalitarianism. Scholars, researchers, and students in social sciences, digital studies, philosophy and psychoanalysis will find this book invaluable. It offers a unique blend of insights, combining social sciences with psychoanalysis to illuminate the new interplay between the psychic and the social in the digital age. This book is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the transformative impact of digitalization on human psyche, thought and society.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Palgrave MacMillan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47854053589143,"sku":"9783032128102","price":10049.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783032128102.webp?v=1780038548","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-rise-of-procedural-digital-humanity-from-logos-to-arithmos-9783032128102","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
