Скачать или смотреть The Cyborg: Homo Oeconomicus to Homo Eroticus

In an environmentally imperiled era where technological advancements, including generative AI, are exploited by capitalist structures that dominate our world today, a critical question arises: what does it mean to be human amidst these developments? This paper on theological anthropology draws from cyborg anthropology, interfacing it with the theological concept of love. We propose a shift from the reductive homo oeconomicus—a being shaped by technocratic capitalism—toward homo eroticus, a technologically embodied human, flourishing in relational love and communal care. Our approach employs a liberationist theological method, adapted from Elizabeth Johnson’s framework of analysis, critique, and reconstruction. This interrogation develops a theological vision of the cyborg as a site of transformation, reclaiming the human being as radically free and relational—with implications for political economy, generative AI, and ecology—that fosters the emancipation of all, especially the vulnerable, thriving together in communion with God.
