Due to the paper’s critical approach to the posthumanist phenomena different representations of human and his environment will be taken into account, especially when it comes to categories such as cyborg, virtual reality and cyber-culture.

As a matter of conclusion, the paper brings out the stances of the representative theoreticians of critical posthumanism, who focus on the establishment of new ethical and aesthetical fundaments of the new humanism, taking also into consideration the radical reform of the academic field of humanities as well.
