Abstract

Cognitive-digital technologies supplant the anthropomorphic form of being from the world. These technologies reduce and suppress the anthropomorphic form of being to a virtual state, turning it into information, communication, mega, micro and nano world, a kind of “other world”. In the process of cognition, the laws of these micro-mega and virtual worlds are uncritically transferred into our life reality, making it hostage to the posthuman dimension. The physical content of virtuality is light, which is why in post-non-classical physics everything is treated as consisting of light as a substance. On this basis, there is a merging of religious ideas about the luminous God with scientific theories of the light-generating Universe. All this is also transferred onto man. There ap­pear projects of enhancing and improving the human all the way until she becomes an ange(go)logram. In this paper, these non-existent trends in the development of techno-science are criticized in terms of the method of a philosophical synthetic reasoning. A hu­man’s life-world witnesses the interaction of light and darkness or the informational and the material. The opposition between the dark Dionysus and Apollo, who is filled with light, is removed by Orpheus, the singer of the flourishing of love and beauty.
