Il sé minimale e la tecnologia ibrida bio-macchinale: un contributo alla fenomenologia dell'incorporazione tecnologica
Rivista Internazionale di Filosofia e Psicologia December 27, 2024 Martina Properzi
The article explores whether incorporating a machine into the body—specifically bio-machine hybrid technologies like biomimetic visual prostheses—affects the minimal self, the simplest sense of individual identity rooted in basic body structures. From a phenomenological perspective, it examines how prosthetics can be experienced as part of one's own body and whether this incorporation alters minimal self-experience. The discussion focuses on a case study of biomimetic visual prostheses, which benefit from advances in digital modeling of bodily signals and bio-integrated materials, to investigate this relationship.
