Abstract
Post-humanism accuses humanism of inventing a human subject who is domineering and destructive. As a remedy, it redefines the human as a being informed by passivity and finitude and bound by ontological vulnerability. In so doing, it undermines the creative and transformative power of human agency and obliterates politics and history as shaped by human actions. Noting how this intensifies the experience of alienation and de-humanisation, the essay looks to Marxist and socialist humanism to resuscitate the idea of humans as agents of history. Humans are not a problem to be overcome; rather, they are the means through which a more viable world can be achieved, for humans and non-humans alike.

Tony Davies offers a clear introduction to the many uses of this influential yet complex concept and this second edition extends his discussion to include:a comprehensive history of the development of the term and its influencestheories of post-humanism, cybernetics and artificial intelligenceimplications of c

À l'origine de ce travail, il y a un besoin personnel de l'auteur de faire le point sur ses propres convictions. Après plus de trente années de lectures, d'échanges d'idées, de débats parfois animés et de réflexions personnelles, il lui a semblé important de se situer spirituellement. Sans méconnaître que les religions peuvent avoir une importance considérable pour un bon nombre de personnes, il défend l'idée qu'il est possible, pour les athées, de poursuivre un cheminement spirituel tout aussi riche et valorisant. Point n'est besoin de croire en un Dieu quelconque pour donner un sens à sa vi
