Warum Replikanten die besseren Menschen sind
Postmoderne, Posthumanismus und Religion in den „Blade Runner“-Filmen
Tectum, 1. Edition 2021, 190 Pages
Description
In addition to their visual qualities, Ridley Scott’s BLADE RUNNER and Denis Villeneuve’s BLADE RUNNER 2049 present a profound reflection on what it means to be human under the conditions of high-tech, late capitalist information societies. The fictional scenario serves as a thought experiment: it provokes the question of what remains of being human if all traditional and modern concepts are no longer applicable. The book provides comprehensive explanations of the philosophical content and references, an analysis of their visual realization, and their background in the history of thought. It is thus also an answer to the question of whether it is possible to philosophize with films.
