| description | With the help of the discourse on healthiness in times of a demographic
change it is shown how subjectivization in the institutions of biopolitics
like healthcare takes place. In the light of new technical capacities, in
which biotechnology and information technology converge, the role of
processes of standardization and the experience of suffering for
subjectivization is exposed. Subjectivization appears not in the manner of a
philosophical struggle for concepts, but in a narrative articulation of an
experience of difference. The human being is - to say it with Wilhelm Schapp
- entangled in stories which run contrary to general and typological
concepts. These stories are articulations of deviation and the contrary. The
singularity of the own existence and its dignity becomes clear in
understanding the difference between the common conception of man and the
self-concept. The discussion is developed in four questions: 1) How we can
define healthiness in times of transformation the historically mediated and
in the first-person-view given human ‘Leib’ to a body, which is given in a
third-person-view? 2) How we can catch the change of our understanding of
healthiness in the light of new technical possibilities which enhance our
physical capacities? 3) Which metaphysics - as an unarticulated
presupposition -manifests behind this change? 4) Which role plays this
metaphysics in the institutions of biopolitics? |
