The post-human - Rosie Preudoti

This book focuses on the discussion centered around post-human theories, revealing the unnatural structure of humans in a time when the differences between humans and non-humans are beginning to diminish. The book explores the extent of the impact of the post-human stage on the traditional belief in the unity of the human being, but it sees in the destabilization of that unity a future that indicates an increased understanding of our diverse and flexible identities. The book also addresses the influence of this thought on non-human entities and on the sustainability of life on this planet; since contemporary economics need to control all kinds of life, this will lead to the erasure of differences between humans and other creatures and to a critique of human centrality, but it leaves us puzzled about its impact on the sustainability of our future. The book is aimed at the general reader, but it does not shy away from discussing somewhat specialized philosophical theories.
