Posthumanist Manifesto: A Pluralistic Approach compares the posthumanist proposal with humanism and transhumanism in ethics, aesthetics, ontology, and epistemology. Roberto Marchesini clarifies the specificity of the posthumanist approach and the novelty of its theoretical and applicative program. Beyond theoretical aspects of poshumanism, this book proposes new approaches to social models, personal rights and citizenship, the relationship between the biosphere and the ecological crisis, and the impact of technology.This book answers questions such as “What is posthumanism and why does it have this definition?”; “How does posthumanism differ from other theoretical approaches?”; and “What are the urgencies to be addressed for posthumanist critique?” The author explores how posthumanism interprets technology in relationship with the body, how to think of a posthumanist anthropology, what ontological transformations posthumanism introduces, and why we can talk about a paradigmatic metamorphosis with respect to humanism, as posthumanism thinks and plans the society of the future.
