Abstract:
The book “Homo Deus” can be considered the final product of the Harary project. In this book, he seeks to answer the question, “What does the future hold for mankind?”. According to the historiographical theory that Harary had adopted in his previous work “Homo Sapines”, he pursues arguments in his new work “Homo Deus”, based on the theory of evolutionism, with the difference that the possibilities and opportunities that artificial evolution or human intervention in the process of evolution may have the largest share in shaping his futuristic ideas. This article seeks to explain the relationship between the necessities that the capitalist system faces in order to survive, with a critical approach and focusing on the two concepts of “Determinism” and “Totalitarianism”. The main idea of this article is that the Harary project lays the groundwork for a kind of totalitarian utopia of capitalism. Criticism of this issue has become necessary due to the political implications of the Harary project.
