Identification and Identity in the Cyberphysical World

Abstract

The study is devoted to the problem of identification and identity in the digital cyberphysical world, where the personal and group IDs of subjects and material things (objects) play an increasingly significant role in their incorporation into emergent sociotechnical systems and networks. An ethical, man-centered vision of anthropology and social philosophy is developed in the situation of dictatorship of identifiers. A historical analysis of the problem of identification in megasystems is carried out; heuristic of the notion of “multiplicity” by Paolo Virno in the post-fordist era in the light of the development of digital production, Industry 4.0. The modern axiological dominants of the SmartX concept (“smart house”, “smart factory”, “smart city”) are criticized. Presented the propaedeutics of the concept of the cybernoosphere (as a planetary unity of cyberphysical, cyberbiological and cybersocial processes) and the concept of cyberphysical sobornost with an attempt to reactivate the classical concept of Russian philosophy of cosmic sobornost in the context of the development of modern cyberphysical systems, the convergence of technologies and global space exploration projects.
