“…The appreciation of the import of this "unity" of Subject and Object is crucial for social robotics because as a feature of the philosophy of technology, the study of social robots has no choice but to stay "object-oriented". My earlier endorsement of Latour and postphenomenologists, Verbeek and Don Ihde is pertinent in this regard [25].…”

As the Fourth Industrial Revolution advances, socially-situated robots are increasingly not exclusively human-like (i.e. humanoids). They also include socially interactive animaloids. How does this myriad of socially intelligent artefacts emerge as members of a cyber-physical social system in which they are accorded the standing of social robots? And how are we to account for the nature of the universe-of-meaning that emerges from this human-artificial social reality? Utilizing conceptual tools derived from the philosophical fields of phenomenology and “new materialism”, I proffer a theoretic account of robotic sociality. I postulate how robots become members of a cyber-physical social network that is cohabited with sapient humans. Two novel functional constructs are introduced in the process: “the humanoidic” and “the robosphere”. The former illuminates that spontaneous bestowal of sociality on robots is tantamount to a recognition of their social agency. I then demonstrate how this psychical process of the recognition of these humanoidic artefacts instantiates an emergence of a shared human–robot cyber-physical world of relational meaning-making, a robosphere. As a corroboration of the self-manifestation of the robosphere as a concrete social system, it is shown that Industry 4.0 adumbrates Society 4.0, a cybernetic social formation, and the envisioned advance of this into the more technocratic super-smart Society 5.0.

“…Although Hegel is not generally considered a philosopher of technology (Hubig, 2000), if we follow the inherent logic of his thinking, a dialectics of technology or technoscience is the inevitable next step, as Natalia Juchniewicz (2014Juchniewicz ( , 2018 convincingly argued. The first Hegelian to develop a philosophy of technology was Ernst Kapp (1877Kapp ( /2015, a German émigré who took Hegel's Werke with him to the Texan plains.…”

“…According to Hegel, technology co-evolved with human labour and the first mode of labour was compulsory work, choosing life over the risk of death, the obligation to work for the Lord or Master in the context of an agricultural ambiance (Hegel, 1807(Hegel, /1986Juchniewicz, 2014). The ground for these ideas, elaborated in Phenomenology of the Spirit, notably the dialectic of Master and Servant, was prepared in unpublished fragments, written during Hegel's Jena years.…”

Dialectics is a philosophical method developed by Hegel (1770–1831), but building on an intellectual tradition whose origins can be traced back to ancient Greece. Dialectics was initially practiced as an educational technique for conducting philosophical discussions. For Hegel, however, dialectical processes can be discerned in the dramatic unfolding of nature, history and human thinking as such. The first dialectical thinker, in the genuine sense of the term, according to Hegel (1971), was Heraclitus (535 – c. 475 BC), in whose “obscure” aphorisms Hegel recognises the awareness that dialectics is more than merely a technique to foster critical reflection. Heraclitus already refers to a basic logic guiding the dynamics of nature as such, to a λόγος at work in actual processes of becoming and change, giving rise to contrasting and contradictory developments (“objective dialectics”, as Hegel phrases it). For dialectical thinkers, the dialectical method is fundamentally in tune with nature, because nature as such is inherently dialectical. Hegel considered Aristotle as ancient philosophy’s most thoroughly dialectical thinker, as we have seen, while Hegel himself is regarded as a modern Aristotle (Beiser, 2005, p. 57; Pippin, 2019, p. 301).
