What does it mean to speak of »the human« today, when it is increasingly invoked in the design, deployment, and regulation of artificial intelligence? This interdisciplinary volume attempts to rethink humanism. Across ethics, aesthetics, and social critique, the contributors explore agency and responsibility, freedom and labor, embodiment and cognition, practical wisdom, love and reciprocity, and the ways algorithmic systems reorganize meaning and worldhood. Humanism emerges not as a doctrine or defense of human exceptionality, but as a critical practice of care for a shared world under conditions of technological abstraction.
