The term “human” comes from the Latin: humus, “fertile soil”: the very same root of the word “humilty”. The technological and trans-human “saga” that we live today, plunges us in an alienated world and in a virtual time, where a paradoxical narcissism reigns, cause in the Market Matrix there are no more “faces” but only trademarks, codes, consumption and exclusion. Recovering the sense of being human is the philosophical task of our time. Fulfilling this task means to deliver the human being from the slavery of money and power and from its counterfeit identities which give us only false happiness. It means to take consciousness of the diversity and freedom of the human being and of the values which teach us how to live together and how to love.
