Abstract

The paper adresses the appeareance of a new onthology and a new philosophy of knowledge, which have emerged from the transformations occured within the representations of objects of nature and technology. These transformations are related to the shift from metaphysical and substantialist perspectives to a new relational one which identifies them as hybrid beings. This relational perspective guides the reconsideration of human identity as the result of multiple social and historical links with other species.
