Informationen zum Autor Edited by Jennifer Cotter; Kimberly DeFazio; Robert Faivre; Amrohini Sahay; Julie P. Torrant; Stephen Tumino and Robert Wilkie Klappentext Humanism views the human as the conscious subject of free will against the non-human periphery. Posthumanism puts forth a major change to humanism by undoing the separation of human from non-human. Human, All Too (Post)Human argues humanism and post-humanism both normalize capitalism, the obstacle to social change. The book makes the case that real change is ending class relations to free humanity from wage labor and place human and non-human in a new order of being.
