Abstract

Posthumanism, meaning ‘after’ or ‘beyond’ humanism, explores new ways of understanding and relating to the nonhuman world, including biological, ecological, and technological aspects. It challenges traditional human-centered approaches in the social sciences and humanities, and advocates for a critical inquiry into what it means to be human in the 21st century. Posthumanism addresses the complexities of the Anthropocene, where human activities dominate and impact planetary life. Additionally, it critiques traditional humanism and anthropocentrism. Posthumanism emerged from philosophy, Science and Technology Studies (STS), and Human-Animal Studies (HAS).
