Homo Homini Homo: Tre caverne: relazione e schermo

The article established the relationship between the three caves of Lon Fuller’s 'speluncean explorers’ case, Plato’s cave myth in Carbone’s reading, and the new digital/ VR 360° “cave.” Other metaphorical or real caves (from those painted by prehistoric man to the concentration camp cave described by Levi) open the possibility of a theory inspired by the idea of homo homini homo, in its opposition to the theological-political models of homo homini lupus and homo homini deus. What emerges is a possible anthropological theory of the foundation of social bonding and law based on a reconfiguration of the idea of sacrifice.
