Abstract

opening of a number of mythologies: calculability world naturalization sense, the
use of foreseeability indicate future events, and other false religiosity. However, the
discourse operates abstractions, but because the line of detail is not singled out.
Neohuman anxiety provoking concept, since the sign has no definition means the
more absent referent. Discourse neohuman composed of references to humanism,
Space philosophy, religion and many others. But these references do not form a
unified whole.
