Book excerpt: L'humanisme occidental a favorise non seulement une coupure entre l'homme et la nature, mais il s'est construit sur une veritable haine vis-a-vis d'elle qui finit par s'appliquer a l'humain lui-meme dans le reve de le remplacer par des machines. Le post-humanisme contemporain realise l'humanisme dans toute sa splendeur - ou plutot dans son desastre: il acheve le fantasme mortifere de l'autonomie de l'humain par rapport au monde.Nombreux sont les ecrivains et les philosophes a avoir mis en garde contre les techniques; mais ils l'ont fait sur un registre moral, alors que l'enjeu est ecologique et spirituel. Il faut assumer l'idee que l'homme et la nature sont ontologiquement consubstantiels. A quoi sert l'humain ? A tenir sa place dans le monde.Alternant les analyses philosophiques et les dialogues avec un penseur chinois atypique, cet essai profond, polemique et jubilatoire decloisonne l'heritage philosophique occidental en faisant appel a un animisme dont nous avons grand besoin aujourd'hui pour reapprendre a vivre dans ce monde. Dominique Lestel est un philosophe qui travaille depuis vingt ans sur les intoxications conjointes de l'humain et du non-humain. Il a publie de nombreux livres sur le sujet, en particulier L'animal est l'avenir de l'homme (Fayard, 2010) et Apologie du carnivore (Fayard, 2011). The Friends of My Friends. A New Look at Human/Animal Relationships (Columbia University Press, 2015). La revue anglaise Angelaki: Journal of the Theoretical Humanities a consacre un numero special a son travail en 2014.
Download or read book C est l homme qui fait l homme written by B. Nyamnjoh and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2015-08-12 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea that human beings are inextricably bound to one another is at the heart of this book about African agency, especially drawing on the African philosophy Ubuntu, with its roots in human sociality and inclusivity. Ubuntus precepts and workings are severely tested in these times of rapid change and multiple responsibilities. Africans negotiate their social existence between urban and rural life, their continental and transcontinental distances, and all the market forces that now impinge, with relationships and loyalties placed in question. Between ideal and reality, dreams and schemes, how is Ubuntu actualized, misappropriated and endangered? The book unearths the intrigues and contradictions that go with inclusivity in Africa. Basing his argument on the ideals of trust, conviviality and support embodied in the concept of Ubuntu, Francis Nyamnjoh demonstrates how the pursuit of personal success and even self-aggrandizement challenges these ideals, thus leading to discord in social relationships. Nyamnjoh uses a popular Ivorian drama with the same title to substantiate life-world realities and more importantly to demonstrate that new forms of expression, from popular drama to fiction, thicken and enrich the ethnographic component in current anthropology.

Download or read book Being Human written by Roger Smith and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2007-09-11 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Challenging commonly held biological, religious, and ethical beliefs, internationally well known historian of science Roger Smith boldly argues that human nature is not some "thing" awaiting discovery but is active in understanding itself. According to Smith, "being human" is a self-creation made possible through a reflective circle of thought and action, with a past and a future, and studying this "history" from a range of perspectives is fundamental to human self-understanding. Smith's argument brings together historical and contemporary debates concerning materialism and human nature and the relations of the different fields of knowledge. He draws on classic writings from across the human sciences, touching on sociology, anthropology, brain sciences, history, philosophical hermeneutics, and critical theory, and demonstrates that there is no position outside history for an absolutely objective or eternally valid view of human nature. The question "what is human?" does not have and could not possible have one answer. Instead, there exists a variety of answers for different purposes, and there are good reasons for the many conceptions of what it is to be human. Smith does not treat human nature as only biological, economic, or moral, but as a multidimensional subject that should be considered in its proper historical context. By understanding this context, Smith believes, we can come to a truer understanding of ourselves. Persuasively and elegantly written, Being Human takes an important new turn in the philosophical study of being human.

This book was released on 2022-08-27 with total page 1930 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Palgrave Handbook of the History of Human Sciences offers a uniquely comprehensive and global overview of the evolution of ideas, concepts and policies within the human sciences. Drawn from histories of the social and psychological sciences, anthropology, the history and philosophy of science, and the history of ideas, this collection analyses the health and welfare of populations, evidence of the changing nature of our local communities, cities, societies or global movements, and studies the way our humanness or ‘human nature’ undergoes shifts because of broader technological shifts or patterns of living. This Handbook serves as an authoritative reference to a vast source of representative scholarly work in interdisciplinary fields, a means of understanding patterns of social change and the conduct of institutions, as well as the histories of these ‘ways of knowing’ probe the contexts, circumstances and conditions which underpin continuity and change in the way we count, analyse and understand ourselves in our different social worlds. It reflects a critical scholarly interest in both traditional and emerging concerns on the relations between the biological and social sciences, and between these and changes and continuities in societies and conducts, as 21st century research moves into new intellectual and geographic territories, more diverse fields and global problematics.

Download or read book The Metaphor of the Monster written by Keith Moser and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2020-10-15 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Metaphor of the Monster offers fresh perspectives and a variety of disciplinary approaches to the ever-broadening field of monster studies. The eclectic group of contributors to this volume represents areas of study not generally considered under the purview of monster studies, including world literature, classical studies, philosophy, ecocriticism, animal ethics, and gender studies. Combining historical overviews with contemporary and global outlooks, this volume recontextualizes the monstrous entities that have always haunted the human imagination in the age of the Anthropocene. It also invites reflection on new forms of monstrosity in an era epitomized by an unprecedented deluge of (mis)information. Uniting researchers from varied academic backgrounds in a common effort to challenge the monstrous labels that have historically been imposed upon "the Other," this book endeavors above all to bring the monster out of the shadows and into the light of moral consideration.

This book was released on 2021-05-05 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transhumanism and Posthumanism in Twenty-First Century Narrative brings together fifteen scholars from five different countries to explore the different ways in which the posthuman has been addressed in contemporary culture and more specifically in key narratives, written in the second decade of the 21st century, by Dave Eggers, William Gibson, John Shirley, Tom McCarthy, Jeff Vandermeer, Don DeLillo, Margaret Atwood, Cixin Liu and Helen Marshall. Some of these works engage in the premises and perils of transhumanism, while others explore the qualities of the (post)human in a variety of dystopian futures marked by the planetary influence of human action. From a critical posthumanist perspective that questions anthropocentrism, human exceptionalism and the centrality of the ‘human’ subject in the era of the Anthropocene, the scholars in this collection analyse the aesthetic choices these authors make to depict the posthuman and its aftereffects.
