Our Posthuman Past
Transhumanism, Posthumanism and Ethical Futures
Abstract
Technological advances directly affect the human being’s material existence and its self-understanding. The Enlightenment’s intentional agent is, due to specific technologies, undergoing a fundamental transformation. Yet, if the ideological basis of this understanding, the justness of social luck, is not rejected, then a new understanding of the "subject" which would avoid unfreedom in the territorialization of the digital world is made impossible. This book offers a novel Hegelian reading of the posthuman discipline in order to propose a new subjectivity.
