“…According to Bernard Stiegler: "To live in the extremely complex milieus that deploy this industrial and planetary technical system, a system capable of unleashing colossal power at any instant, requires of the people traversing them that they maintain a blind trust" [39]. There are at least two crucial factors that one has to underline in order to penetrate into a very possible dystopic scenario: the first one is the miniaturization of technicity via nanotechnology and the second is the liquidation of ethics [39], through narcissism that expresses itself as total ignorance of applied virtues (stupidity) or in an even worse scenario as a disbelief in the value of virtues (cynicism).…”

With the development of personalized and globalized technologies, a discussion regarding how and why virtue epistemology should be an essential part of post-industrial ethical analysis on augmented technologies and use of robotics in the global age becomes crucial. These globalized technologies in the form of either game apps (i.e., Pokémon Go) or robotics like drones become through the Internet multimedia a structural part of planetary digitalization. While this development takes place, traditional virtue epistemology responds insufficiently to the devitalization of knowledge regarding manners (savoir vivre) and ways (savoir faire) of practicing and the need to respond to the sudden expansion of augmented games and drone use with personal and social intellect, responsibility, and consequently safety. The chapter intends to discuss this analysis in order to argue that a postindustrial epistemic reconfiguration of digital ethics is necessary, since augmented reality games and robotics are taking the form of massive trends for adults and nonadults, while for the first time, digital gaming and robot entertainment exceed the limits of the personal space and the virtual mode of the screen, moving out into the public realm, where reality is mixed with virtuality and human environment with unmanned robots.

“…Die posthumanisme en transhumanisme maak mense vervangbaar behalwe vir die ontwerpers van hierdie teorieë (die sogenaamde tegno-profete van Lecourt 2003) wat hulle eie ewige bestaan (so glo hulle ) -en teenstrydig soos dit mag klinkprobeer verseker. Kyk na Lecourt (2003) en Stiegler (2013a) se kommentaar hieroor en selfs die van Janicaud (2005) wat later bespreek sal word. Hulle wys op moontlike gevaartekens van hierdie bevraagtekening van same-lewing en van die skep van alternatiewe posthumane mensbeelde.…”

“…Dus die herinvensie van dít in die mens wat die bron is van demodinamiek -die krag van die individu om nuwe leefbaarder wêrelde en gesonder samelewings te skep. Lecourt (2003:48) skrywe oor "die normatiewe inventiwiteit" waardeur mense hulle volle deugdelikheid moet herwin wat ons hiertoe in staat stel en Stiegler (2013a) beaam dit ondubbelsinnig.…”

ABSTRACTThe invention/re-invention of community Society is, generally speaking, in a situation of serious decay, hampered by criminality, violence, corruption, poverty, disaffectivity, and desymbolisation to the point of the pathological. As a result, society's status and, in particular, the possibility of community are deeply questioned. All kinds

“…In order to illustrate this point, and further contextualise Guattari's (1995) theory of complexity and chaos, I also seek to theorise the despair of the present through a discussion of Bernard Stiegler's (2011bStiegler's ( , 2012Stiegler's ( , 2014b) work on disbelief, discredit, default and the failure of the spirit of capitalism. What matters here is that Stiegler locates the disenchantment of capitalism, and the related rise of disbelief and despair that has led to general social collapse, in the emergence of the final phase of late capitalism or what the Italian autonomist followers of Guattari write about through the idea of semio-capitalism (Berardi, 2015;Genosko, 2012;Marazzi, 2008Marazzi, , 2011.…”
