Unite separating: the technological individualism

Abstract

The article establishes a relationship between the field of political theory and the field of new communication technologies, showing that the contemporary development of these is in direct connection with the consolidation of individualism as the principle and precept of human relations. To show the connection, I will make a brief exposition of Hobbes's political theory specifying the need for separation or distance. Then, the concept of immunization is exposed from what Roberto Esposito and Alain Brossat points out, to finally introduce us fully into the relationship between individualism and technological communication in what Byung Chul-Han exposes.
