Antropocalipsis. Sobre el fin de la Historia como fin del Hombre.

This article explores the notion of “apocalypse” understood as the end of the idea of “man”. Throughout the twentieth century, many philosophers have focused on the diminishing importance of the humanistic categories that have framed our view of the world: “man”, “subject”, “history”, etc. We propose a conceptual and etymological analysis of how the idea of anthropos was constructed during the development of Western humanism. Our aim is to elucidate how the philosophical tradition has portrayed man as a divided being, with two opposing dimensions requiring reconciliation. We then delve into the implications of what we term the “anthropocalypse”, offering a reinterpretation of several posthumanist theories that might allow us to live on beyond the “end”.
