Abstract

Introduction. The challenges of the posthumanistic phase transition lead to a critical response from representatives of the anthropological trend in philosophy. Going into the sphere of determinism of digital discourse overcomes a person in all his previous discourses, since what was constantly perceived as ontic and ontological in being loses its meaning and value in the coordinates of digital relations. It is important to define the term “digital”, which in the study is represented in numbers and following the logic of an algorithm that eliminates anthropological reality, understood as the subjectivity of human existence. The purpose of the paper is to represent the concepts of the new materialists, who propose to overcome the man not only in his spiritual, but also in bodily dimensions in comparison with the complexity paradigm and the concept of M. Heidegger. Methods. The author uses methods of analyzing philosophical concepts of the new materialists, M. Heidegger and representatives of complexity theory. Scientific novelty of the research lies in discoverying the connection between M. Heidegger’s concept of quaternary and the concepts of complexity theory, including the new materialists’ theories. The transition of the ontological model of Heidegger’s concept into the ontic construct of the latest materialistic thought is traced. The author reveals the difference between authentic and non-authentic modes of virtuality. Results. According to D. Haraway, an alternative is a form of interspecific mixing, in which the monstrous, which was previously a marker of the boundaries of the human, breaks into the anthropological topic, reshaping it according to the digital patterns of the posthuman world. This inversion of the Heideggerian world project of quaternary makes it possible to eliminate the ontological plane of being, solving the problem of man’s exclusivity in the direction of its elimination from the discourse of modern philosophy. Conclusions. Comparison of the approaches of M. Heidegger, accelerationists and Russian philosophy provides an opportunity to clarify important aspects of digital deanthropologization.
