摘要

The “Anthropocene” is not an innocent and neutral scientific characterization of a geological period, but rather the original title of a meta-narrative that relates, organizes, and comprehensively explains a diversity of events, from rising temperatures to human gene editing. In this narrative, the concepts of Nature and human being, the anthropological characterization of humanity, undergo a profound and dangerous transformation due to the axiological centrality of technology.
