Categoria centrale nel dibattito pubblico delle società occidentali contemporanee, quella di Antropocene è una nozione che spesso si fonda su un presupposto che è una vera e propria macchina concettuale: il binomio umano-negativo, l’idea per cui l’umano sia il posto del negativo. Questo binomio, e il suo funzionamento, verrà analizzato in alcuni autori – tra gli altri, gli anni ’30 della filosofia francese e in particolare Alexandre Kojève –, che lo accolgono in modi significativamente diversi e tuttavia congiunti da un’attenzione alla relazione tra l’umanità e una serie di declinazioni del negativo. Successivamente, attraverso lo studio dell’opera di Maurice Merleau- Ponty, si mostrerà la disarticolazione di questa macchina, una trasformazione del significato stesso di negativo e, dunque, un suo slittamento semantico: dall’umanità alla giuntura tra essere e apparire; dal negativo come desiderio, come mancanza, come spinta alla distruzione della presenza e del mondo naturale al negativo come margine inappropriabile del reale e come suolo, in direzione di un diverso pensiero dell’Antropocene, possibile a partire da una diversa concezione dell’umano. [Abstract translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator: This is the abstract in English… A central theme in the public debate of contemporary Western societies, the Anthropocene is a notion that is often based on an assumption that is a veritable "conceptual machine": the human-negative binomial, the idea that the human is the place of the negative. This binomial, and its workings, will be analyzed in a number of authors-among others, 1930s French philosophy and Alexandre Kojève in particular-who embrace it in significantly different ways and yet united by a focus on the relationship between humanity and a range of declinations of the negative. Subsequently, through the study of the work of Maurice Merleau- Ponty, the disarticulation of this machinery will be shown, a transformation of the very meaning of negative and, therefore, its semantic shift: from humanity to the juncture between being and appearing; from the negative as desire, as lack, as a drive for the destruction of presence and the natural world, to the negative as the inappropriable margin of the real and as ground, in the direction of a different thinking of the Anthropocene, possible from a different conception of the human.]
