Abstract

Humanism, as a conceptual framework, revolves around intellectual and moral conceptions that focus on human interrelations and interactions. It represents a system of thought that advocates for the recognition of human attributes, aspirations, growth, performance, freedom, and ingenuity in social, political, and cultural contexts. While humanism acts as a counterforce against the dehumanizing tendencies of modern technological progress and industrialization, it is crucial to note that humanism is not a religious doctrine, devoid of dogma or faith. This research embarks on an analytical study of post-humanism, delving into philosophical approaches that challenge and extend beyond traditional humanistic perspectives. Drawing on Michel Foucault's observation that "humanism has its own dogma," the study critically examines how the term "human" may inadvertently naturalize differences inherent within it. Post-humanism, as a response to the limitations of traditional humanism, seeks to transcend the boundaries of anthropocentrism and linear conceptions of progress. The research explores post-humanism's departure from conventional humanist paradigms, questioning the progressive life perspective associated with humanism without invoking supernatural beliefs. By investigating various philosophical viewpoints within the realm of post-humanism, the study aims to shed light on the evolving nature of human thought and its implications for contemporary understandings of identity, agency, and the relationship between humans and technology. Through a nuanced examination of post-humanist philosophical approaches, this research contributes to the ongoing discourse surrounding the transformations and challenges presented by the post-humanist paradigm. The exploration of post-humanism's philosophical underpinnings provides valuable insights into reconfigurations of human subjectivity and offers a critical perspective on the assumptions embedded in traditional humanistic ideologies.
