Personal Ethics: Emancipation Through Art and Technology

This text provides a profound introduction to Maria Kostyszak's thought, as presented in her publication "Personal Ethics." The author attempts to redefine subjectivity in the postmodern world, utilizing the tools of deconstruction and Deleuze and Derrida's philosophy of difference. A key element of the argument is to present art and technology not as external objects but as active modes of existence that allow individuals to liberate themselves from the shackles of logocentrism and automatism. Through an analysis of Bruno Latour's actor-network theory, Kostyszak builds foundations for relational ethics and planetary responsibility. The article encourages the abandonment of anthropocentric frameworks in favor of sensitivity, networking, and the continuous process of becoming, which makes personal ethics a living manifesto of emancipation.
