| Summary: | My paper aims at underlining how the current use of digital technologies is generating new forms of interference in the relationship between life and death. More specifically, as highlighted by the scholars of the so-called Digital Death, today we have a ‒ more or less concrete ‒ possibility to reach some sort of digital immortality, which consists in a survival of information and data gathered and created by the deceased throughout their entire life within different online environments. These information and data tend to become independent from the individual that generated them: to the living who suffer from the loss, this gives the impression that the afterlife is now to be found within the online dimension. In showing the philosophical implications of this particular new situation created by technology, this paper aims at taking into consideration the changes it brings to our relationship with transcendence and religious rituals. |
