20.500.12556/DiRROS-17153 On dreams, human imagination, and technology In this paper, I reflect on human imagination, the intention of technology, and the future of humanity in the era of the Anthropocene. I begin by presenting the environmental crisis and declare a need to protect and safeguard nature. In the first part, I offer an explanation of a dream of an airliner and link it to the Bachelardian theory of aerial imagination and oneiric flight. I show how, today, technology has entered our lives profoundly and how it has become closely intertwined with us human beings. Based on this, the second part is dedicated to Martin Heidegger and his question concerning technology. By analyzing Heidegger’s seminal essay on technology, I argue for an alternative possibility of thinking about human artefacts (such as various tools or even an airliner) beyond them being merely a standing-reserve and thus rather as a mode of unconcealement. The third and last part of this essay is dedicated to Ilia Delio’s Teilhardian cosmic vision of the future of technological progress. Technology, for Delio, is a part of this cosmic narrative and human beings represent the thinking portion of the universe. I conclude with a thought on a new elemental consciousness and imagination, in which nature, its life force, and the most advanced technology, including AI, would become a part of a new panentheistic whole. elemental philosophy of religion dreams technology anthropocene Gaston Bachelard Martin Heidegger Teilhard de Chardin Ilia Delio elementalna filozofija religije true false false Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik © 2023 by the author Neznano 2023-10-06 15:24:10 2023-10-06 15:24:11 2024-12-11 12:28:43 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2023 0 0 Nasl. z nasl. zaslona; Opis vira z dne 6. 10. 2023; 9 str. iss. 10, [article no.] 1249 Vol. 14 2023 0000-00-00 NiDoloceno NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 2023-09-28 2023-09-30 2-1 2077-1444 10.3390/rel14101249 167400707 ZRSKP_101_SkofL_167400707.pdf ZRSKP_101_SkofL_167400707.pdf 1 B69F45510F0884DD00214F782A5F63B3 8fac90a2a948915f8cdbf82a0ce37e18d83c19f725bffc63838b94812521f835 5b05a2b8-643b-11ee-8cc8-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=23275 https://www.mdpi.com/2077-1444/14/10/1249 0 df61228d-643a-11ee-8cc8-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=23274 Znanstveno-raziskovalno središče Koper / Centro di Ricerche Scientifiche Capodistria 0 0 0
