A RESSACA PÓS-HUMANISTA
HUMANOS, PÓS-HUMANOS E O CUSTO DA COMPLEXIDADE
Keywords:
Post-humanism, Complexity, Object-Oriented Ontology, Actor-Network Theory, Social TheoryAbstract
Humanism is not merely a subtle itch on the back of modernity, a simple philosophical detail in the hands of an individual or group. Perhaps this humanist framework remains dissolved in our daily lives, in its most unsuspected details, like a kind of glue that is impossible to remove. And what if it is, before any speculative journey or moral lapse of bizarre figures, an institution—or rather, multiple institutions—dissolved into the very materiality of everyday life? If the cost of abandoning it is enormous, would it still be worth it? If the answer is yes, as I argue in this essay, how should we respond? Let us delve a little into some of the implications of post-humanism, particularly the costs when it is taken to its ultimate consequences. As a result, three characteristics reveal this supposed misstep, described here in three sections: ethical, political, and epistemic humanism.
