Abstract
This article focusses on the problem of resistance in advanced information technologies that claim to be “autonomous”. The concept of resistance is identified as a transcendental philosophical concept that marks the conditions of possibility and limits. The claim to autonomy is scrutinised by exposing its conditions. Furthermore, it is shown that information-technical accesses to reality only reach the typological, but not the event-like, singular and the concrete quality of experience, which are subject to the principle of individuation. In principle, intentionality, inner and historical experience of time, evaluation, eventfulness, singularity and immediacy can be identified as dimensions of resistance that stand in the way of autonomy in both the strong and the weak sense.
Keywords
