Abstract
The author raises the problem of the contemporary world from the rule of cybernetics and technoscience as realized metaphysics. The disappearance of the binary oppositions of freedom and labour leads to the synthesis of the world and life in the act of artificial life and artificial intelligence. In current philosophical insights concerning the close connections between biogenetics, new technologies and politics under the notion of posthuman condition we should be able to confess the new assemblage of old metaphysical concepts. Under what conditions is the relationship of practice and labour kept in this new framework and what are the possibilities of reconstruction of practical philosophy? There are two possible approaches: one steamed from Sutlić’s methodical critique of Marx’s labour practice as scientific history, and the second arrived from Deleuze’s nonlinear philosophy of becoming. Both have been encountered with Marx and his overcoming of philosophy and mutual system production. While Deleuze tries to open possibilities of revolution inside the society of control where the life as such has become a network of chaotic order, Sutlić in his historical thinking presupposes metaphysics realized in labour practice of new cybernetic science. Instead of any possibility of reconstruction of practice on the old foundations of ‘society’ and ‘community’ in the present age, the author’s intention is that the time is gone farewell to the idea of eliminating/overcoming of metaphysics (Aufhebung) and with a new understanding of the practice from the life immanence. What remains should not be therefore a practice, but the possibilities of events beyond the technoscientific thinking.
