Abstract

In this paper I make an attempt to form a discourse about some possibility for developing a concept of transindividaul towards a post-human project. For an approach to this perspective, first of all I try to review Braidotti's programme and vision for the post-human involves two elements: the development of new subjectivity and the embracing of a post-human ethics. She confidently suggests a monistic philosophy of becomings which depends on the idea of matter, the association of the human and technological objects results in a new transversal compound, that is same like symbiotic relationship among the human, the animals and the mechanic. For this reason, we need to reconsider 'mechinic vitality' as becoming a subject that is the being who bears in the functioning itself. This means that the passage from vital individuation to psycho-social, or transindividual individuation via the psychic transitory path. The concept of transversal technologically mediated subjectivity by Braidotti is central to a new vision of post-human subjectivity and it provides some of new ethical frame. In this context I return to the notion of the transindividual by Gilbert Simondon which is defined the systematic unity of interior individuation and exterior individuation because it makes subjects intervene in so far as they carry a charge of pre-individual reality. Transindividual is capable to be connected an ideal of the relative subject which is a new perspective towards post-human. With this respect, I would connect it to clarify a theoretical challenge for a new of the transversality of relation for post-human subjectivity.
