| Sumario: | The article analyses the concept of posthuman from a philosophical perspective. The paper aims to present and determine the meaning of the notion of posthuman. The considerations are based on the assumption that posthumanist philosophy can be distinguished within posthumanism. The subject matter of posthumanist philosophy is human being and human situation in the changing world due to the development of science and technology. The starting point for the analysis is the posthumanist postulate of ‘working-through’ the humanist tradition, which results in a non-essentialist and non-anthropocentric concept of posthuman. The article presents the process of shaping this concept in reference to works of D. Haraway and N.K. Hayles. Then the paper analyses the standpoint of R. Braidotti in order to show that posthumanism was inspired by feminism and deconstructivism (these inspirations had a significant impact on the vision of posthumanity). The characteristics of posthuman are presented in reference to Braidotti’s conception of relational subjectivity. The article elucidates why the posthuman subject is materialistically embedded in order to explain the thesis about significant role of human embodiment. The paper shows how the abolition of the opposition between body and thinking leads to a post-dualistic conception of human being. |
