Opis

The book places emotions at the foundation of awareness, ethics, and freedom in the age of data and artificial intelligence. Rather than seeing emotions as secondary or irrational factors to overcome, the work approaches emotions as the life energy of the body, where knowledge precedes language and concepts. Emotions are analyzed as bio-existential mechanisms that help the nervous system project the future, organize life time, accumulate memories, and direct behavior under uncertain conditions. In a digital context, where data and algorithms have the ability to measure, predict, and manipulate human reactions, emotions become a key point of resistance against the flattening of life. The book criticizes the separation of emotions from the body and turning them into occupied data, which impairs self-perception and the ability to live together. By looking at emotions as prelingualistic knowledge and pre-moral foundations, the book aims at a liberal order where people rediscover their own deep rhythm of life.
