摘要

There has been a growing trend in various fields of contemporary philosophy, sociology, psychology, linguistics, and other areas of the human sciences that involves replacing classical concepts such as the object, the individual, the mind, the signifier, and others, with that of the machine or other related concepts, such as the network or the artificial brain. The evolution of the natural sciences in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries has incited modifications in the machine concept. Machines have evolved from being solely man-made technical instruments to now being seen as a philosophical tool, providing a fresh perspective on how we view the world. Now, machines not only surround us but have become infectious monsters that transform everything, including nature, into machines. As a result, the machine has become the prevailing concept of our time and requires a new ontology.
