Abstract
These brief considerations are meant to reflect on the significance that the idea of Subject has acquired in the present day, so as to shed some light onto what it implies for pedagogic epistemology. This investigative hypothesis defines the subject in terms of the way in which it interrelates with the world. Presently, subjectivity confronts itself with tecnoscientific approaches, since the latter define contemporary society. Thence rises the contrast with the idea of subject rooting in complex transhumanistic cogitations. To this end, this paper will attempt to unravel the various meanings attributed to the concept of subject, in relation to the changes the world is facing in our days. Finally, it will try to determine the extent to which subject and technology intertwine, through processes of reciprocal determination.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
