Polymechanos ghenos – The fate of the cybernetic west, between technology and humanities

Abstract

After a wide-ranging exploration of the critical issues triggered by the digital revolution, we intend to analyze benefits and contradictions of school culture and educational system: the theme is examined with pedagogical tools, along with the interpretative model of epistemological demystification. Moreover, the grafting of a digital mindset in the therapeutic models developed for autism spectrum disorders has included, in fact, the purchase of a divergent gaze on the etiopathogenesis of the abovementioned syndrome, which we propose to define as a peculiar manifestation of neurological biodiversity. Finally, the same cybernetic-computational vision ensures a preponderant role in the increasingly hegemonic affirmation of the commodity-form and can be intended as a key to unambiguously understand the globalized world, by means of economic profiling made available by the paradigm of Big Data Analytics.
