Synopsis

What remains of the human when everything can be measured, optimized, predicted, and circulated? The Parenthesis of Modernity is a collection of essays on artificial intelligence, algorithmic power, and the post-human condition. Moving from Ramon Llull, Descartes, Aquinas, Marx, Nietzsche, Freud, and Stiegler to blockchain, digital detox, depression, quantum ontology, and algorithmic governance, Münir Karatä examines a world in which modernity's promise of explanation has not collapsed - but has been processed. In these essays, the subject becomes a profile, truth becomes ranking, objection becomes engagement data, silence becomes negative data, and sovereignty dissolves into infrastructure, protocol, and flow. The clock has not broken; something far worse has happened - it has become meaningless. And it continues to run at an untraceable speed, in the service of masters no longer visible. Against this new regime of operation, visibility, and distribution, these texts do not offer a simple rejection of technology. They seek instead to think through the fragile possibility of a new relation between human, machine, and nature - beyond the exhausted center of modernity. Written from Turkish and recomposed in English, the essays in this volume were originally published between 2024 and 2026. They should not be read as translations, but as authorial re-compositions: attempts to carry the conceptual pressure, political rhythm, and philosophical texture of the original texts into another language and another world. Heaven is ranking. Hell is echolessness. Purgatory is life suspended in latent space. And the only resistance left may be an interiority that cannot be processed - a silence that cannot be predicted, a word that does not depend on distribution.
