It examines the rise of a new procedural humanity—\u003cem\u003eHomo Externatus\u003c\/em\u003e—born from a profound cultural shift between \u003cem\u003elogos\u003c\/em\u003e, the symbolic foundation of thought grounded in language, truth, causality, and meaning, and “\u003cem\u003earithmos\u003c\/em\u003e”, 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScholars, 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\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2026-04-14\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783032128102\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-032-12811-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 354\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Classiques Garnier, Paris","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44720742629516,"sku":"9783032128102","price":125.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783032128102.jpg?v=1778009138","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783032128102","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
