This post-nature which aspires to be perfect, immortal, invulnerable, is entirely devoid of beauty. In fact, while there may be an aesthetic of the artificial and of the artefact if it is in relation to objects, there is, however, no aesthetic of the post-human body. This is because is configured as a non-body and does not have the characteristics for what is commonly intended as beauty (harmony between matter and form, a reflection of inner life, uniqueness). Also in this case, it is more correct to speak of post-beauty, which in its properties appears to be the mirror image of beauty and ultimately, represents its complete dissolution. 2014 artículo científico 1132-1989 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=87535786010 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=875 Cuadernos de Bioética application/pdf Asociación Española de Bioética y Ética Médica Cuadernos de Bioética (España) Num.3 Vol.XXV |
