Avatars as Bodiless Characters
Keyword(s):
In this chapter, the author introduces the reader to the importance of virtual reality in human life, avatars, and communicating with digital characters and demonstrates the pervasiveness of technology's penetration into our lives, not only physically, cognitively, and emotionally, but also environmentally. As the created interpreters and representatives of scientific work as the substance subject of scientific history, avatars participate, along with robots, cyborgs, and artificial intelligence, in the desubjectivization, biological denaturalization, and despiritualization of man and death of biological life. The ‘cyborgization' of humans in virtual space extends the landscape of the discussion on cyborgoethics.
