Our experience of the present is defined by numbers, graphs and, increasingly, an algorithmically calculated future, based on the mathematical and formal reasoning that began with the rise of modern science in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Today, this reasoning is further modified and extended in the form of computer-executed, algorithmic reasoning. Instead of fallible human reasoning, algorithms—based on mining databases for ‘information’—are seen to provide more efficient processes, offering fast solutions. In this paper, then, I will follow Jan Patočka, who suggests that we live in an age of supercivilisation, one in which human reasoning has become self-sufficient, ceasing to depend on the supernatural or cultural traditions that previously guided human lives. My argument is that Patočka’s analysis of supercivilisation can open up a different way to reflect on the ‘spiritual foundation of our times’. As Patočka says, to reflect on our situation does not mean that we can change it, but reflection can give us a new understanding that will open up different ways to think about our human future.

我们基于十六，十七世纪现代科学兴起的数学和形式推理基于数字，图表以及越来越多的算法计算的未来来定义当前的经验。如今，这种推理以计算机执行的算法推理的形式被进一步修改和扩展。基于挖掘数据库中的“信息”的算法被认为可以提供更有效的流程，并提供快速的解决方案，而不是犯错的人为推理。然后，在本文中，我将跟随扬·帕托奇卡（JanPatočka），他建议我们生活在一个超文明的时代，在这个时代中，人类推理已变得自给自足，不再依赖以前指导人类生活的超自然或文化传统。我的观点是，帕托奇卡对超文明的分析可以开辟一种不同的方式来反思“我们时代的精神基础”。正如Patočka所说，反思我们的情况并不意味着我们可以改变它，而是反思可以给我们一种新的理解，这将为思考我们的局面开辟不同的方式。人类的未来。
