Abstract:

This paper is on ontological assumptions on which ideologies such as trans- and post humanism are based. The method by which these ontological assumptions are criticised is the analysis of the way of thinking (reductionism/projectionism, disjunctionism, and integrationism).

Keywords: technocracy; anthropomorphism; dualism; Promethean Shame; techno-social systems
