This article attempts an organological and pharmacological re-interpretation of the later Heidegger’s understanding of modern technology as a provocative mode of revealing of beings, in particular of its central notions of Gestell [enframing] Gefahr [danger], Kehre [turning] and Ereignis [event]. Although these notions in principle allow us to think what is at stake currently in the Anthropocene as the age of total automation, generalized toxicity of the technical milieu and post-truth (i.e., as the Entropocene) calling for a radical bifurcation, they need to be reframed and re-imagined in terms of the process of exosomatization issuing from humanity’s original and necessary default of origin and situated within the perspective of entropy and negentropy, both unthought by Heidegger. Only thus will it become possible to really think and take care of what Heidegger called the danger of technology and its turning into the event as the destiny of enframing. This also requires a rethinking of Aristotle’s theory of four causes as it is invoked by Heidegger in his analysis of technology, in particular the efficient and final causes, in terms of what Deleuze called quasi-causality, here understood as the need and the obligation for mortals to make their (de-)fault come true, i.e., to make it truly happen or make it advene in truth, out of the experience of the danger as the ordeal of the necessary default. Thus becoming the anti-anthropic cause of anthropic toxicity, humans would restore final causality as quasi-causality and inaugurate, as neganthropos, the bifurcation into the Neganthropocene.

真理的考验:熵世中的原因和准原因

本文试图对后期海德格尔将现代技术理解为揭示存在者的挑衅模式,特别是其核心概念Gestell [框架] Gefahr [危险]、Kehre [转向] 和Ereignis的理解进行器官学和药理学的重新解释[事件]。尽管这些概念原则上允许我们思考当前在人类世作为完全自动化时代的利害关系,技术环境的普遍毒性和后真相(即熵世)要求彻底分叉,但他们需要从人类原始和必要的起源默认值产生的外体化过程的角度重新构建和重新想象,并位于熵和负熵的视角内,这两者都没有被海德格尔考虑过。只有这样,才能真正思考和照顾海德格尔所说的技术的危险及其作为框架命运的事件的转变。这也需要重新思考亚里士多德的四因理论,正如海德格尔在分析技术,特别是效率因和最终因时所引用的那样,就德勒兹所说的准因果关系而言,这里被理解为凡人有必要和有义务使他们的(de-)过错成真,即,使之真正发生或使其真实发生,从他们的经验中作为必要违约的考验的危险。从而成为人类毒性的反人类原因,人类将恢复最终因果关系作为准因果关系并开始,作为负人类,分叉到负人类世。
