Morin, Baudrillard and the hologram metaphor

Abstract

Until man is aware that the more notion of mankind he possesses, the less human he becomes, this will be the story of a planet that became sick along with the rational madness of its rational inhabitants. The multiple scenes of destruction counteracted the natural, the local and the global. Today, in Edgar Morin's words: "Not only does each part of the world become more and more part of the world, but the world as a whole is increasingly present in each one of its parts. This is true not only for nations and peoples, but also for individuals. Just as each point of the hologram contains the information of the whole of which it is a part, hence every individual also receives or consumes information and substances from the whole universe."
