The Coming Human: Monster or Humus?

Abstract:

In a hyper-technological world, the very concept of human (humanity) is in constant evolution-revolution. But then how far can the power of man go over nature and over himself? If the Cartesian wish to see him become master and possessor of nature remains a laudable ideal, does he have the right, in the name of this power, to push the humanity in him beyond the limits of this nature? The human is the human; the rest would be a dangerous or even destructive attempt. Where the human who comes from, far from being a monster, remains the consent of man himself of his original finitude. For this awareness to be effective, it is obviously necessary at the time of the technological threat and attacks on the inalienable human dignity, to leave the logic of man in favor of that of the human. A logic embodied by living together in Africa through the African values of humanization which until then will not have been taken into account but which our times demand as an opening to human ipseity, a particular expression of the universal human being embodied today by the Ubuntu of the Bantu languages or the Beninese Gbètonyinyi.
