Description

The notion of 'the human' needs urgent redefinition. Radical bio-technological developments and pressing environmental and political imperatives call for an alternative: the posthuman concept. This philosophical landscape encompasses various movements, including Posthumanism, Transhumanism, Antihumanism, and Object Oriented Ontology. Francesca Ferrando's Philosophical Posthumanism explores the similarities and differences between these currents, delving into topics such as the anthropocene, artificial intelligence, and the deconstruction of human identity. The book focuses on a philosophy of mediation that redefines humanity in relation to technology and ecology, highlighting the posthuman shift in the global call for social change, responsible science, and multispecies coexistence. By examining these interconnected themes, Ferrando offers a nuanced understanding of the posthuman condition, shedding light on its implications for our understanding of human existence.
