Posthumanities Series, volume 8

Can a new kind of humanities-posthumanities-respond to the redefinition
of humanity's place in the world by both the technological and the
biological or "green" continuum in which the "human" is but one life
form among many? Exploring this radical repositioning, Cary Wolfe ranges
across bioethics, cognitive science, animal ethics, gender, and
disability to develop a theoretical and philosophical approach
responsive to our changing understanding of ourselves and our world.

"What Is Posthumanism? is an original, thoroughly argued, fundamental
redefinition and refocusing of posthumanism. Firmly distinguishing
posthumanism from discourses of the 'posthuman' or 'transhumanism,' this
book will be at the center of discussion for a long time to come." -
Donna Haraway, author of When Species Meet
