Criticism
Michael Hampe is one of the futurologists to the writers of the third culture: " (...) Joël de Rosnay [ sees ] in his book" Homo Symbiotic " the communicating on the Internet people are already as components of an emerging" cybiont ", a " higher authority " ( ... ). because the are " foresight " to science fiction. " wholeness " and " networking" obviously become key words of the third culture. " In this context, Hampe criticized the content of the works of the third culture in general with the following words: " Philosophically sees all little plausible and conceptually vague from. It remains unclear where here are methodically guided experience and controlled terminology at work yet and where only one originally only illustrative analogy has become independent. In order to decide about it, it would require a philosophical analysis of scientific theories that are based on these speculations. "
