A Philosophical Journey into the Anthropocene: Discovering Terra Incognita presents the Anthropocene not only as a geological epoch, but rather as the potential métarécit of our age and the most faithful expression of the current zeitgeist. Insofar as the Anthropocene establishes that the human agency as technological omni-power represents a “global geophysical force” capable of altering the destiny of the Earth system, the coming of this new epoch shows that technology now embodies the subject of both history and nature. In this totalized form, technology achieves the status of an integral epochal phenomenon: the new environment for human life. Agostino Cera argues that the “technisches Zeitalter” (age of technology) outlined by twentieth-century philosophical thought is fully realized in the Anthropocene and that a more appropriate name for this planetary framework is, therefore, Technocene. The book develops along four basic directions: epistemological, ontological, anthropological, and ethical. It argues that the Anthropocene is something radically new, a terra incognita or an “epistemic hyperobject with a (geo-)historical barycenter,” giving rise to: an unprecedented form of reification of nature (“pet-ification of nature”); an unexpected version of anthropocentrism (“Aidosean Prometheanism”); and an unpredictable ethical paradox (“paradox of omni-responsibility”).
