Leary, Timothy

Leary, Timothy
   Philosophe adepte du cyberespace, Timothy Leary (1920-1996) constate dans son livre Chaos et cyberculture (Editions du Lézard, Paris, 1997): "Jamais l’individu n’a eu à sa portée un tel pouvoir. Mais, à l’âge de l’information, il faut saisir les signaux. Populariser signifie ’rendre accessible au peuple’. Aujourd’hui, le rôle du philosophe est de personnaliser, de populariser et d’humaniser les concepts informatiques, de façon à ce que personne ne se sente exclu." D’après Timothy Leary, le 21e siècle devrait voir l’émergence d’un nouvel humanisme, dont les idées-force seront la contestation de l’autorité, la liberté de pensée et la créativité personnelle, le tout soutenu et encouragé par la vulgarisation de l’ordinateur et des nouvelles technologies de communication.
