The limits of posthumanism

01 January 1970 0 9K Report

Are you also ambivalent towards posthumanism, because its Relational ontology does justice to our living and acting in the world, but at the same time you oppose its homogenization of everything in which there is no room for any asymmetry of the Self? Let's explore this ambivalence together and learn from each other.
