A new subjectness in the network space of human and non-human objects

Abstract

The modern world with its ever-more complex structure is inextricably linked to the rapid progress of science and technology. The digital revolution is not only affecting our physical life, but also our understanding of reality. This change in understanding has come about through the realization that today, human relations with the world and with other people are almost completely dependent on material artificial intermediaries. Everything created in the laboratory eventually leaves its walls, filling the planet with various hybrids that combine disparate human and non-human objects. The article presents a reinterpretation of one of the key categories of classical epistemology, subjectness, the authors expose its new form, which has such attributes as hybridity and distribution.
