The literary and scientific renaissance that struck Germany around
1800 is usually taken to be the cradle of contemporary humanism.
Posthumanism in the Age of Humanism shows how figures like Immanuel
Kant and Johann Wolfgang Goethe as well as scientists specializing
in the emerging modern life and cognitive sciences not only
established but also transgressed the boundaries of the "human."
This period so broadly painted as humanist by proponents and
detractors alike also grappled with ways of challenging some of
humanism's most cherished assumptions: the dualisms, for example,
between freedom and nature, science and art, matter and spirit,
mind and body, and thereby also between the human and the nonhuman.
Posthumanism is older than we think, and the so-called "humanists"
of the late Enlightenment have much to offer our contemporary
re-thinking of the human.
