Posthuman theory asks in various ways what it means to be human in
a time when philosophy has become suspicious of claims about human
subjectivity. Those subjects who were historically considered
aberrant, and our future lives becoming increasingly hybrid show we
have always been and are continuously transforming into posthumans.
What are the ethical considerations of thinking the posthuman?
Posthuman Ethics asks not what the posthuman is, but how posthuman
theory creates new, imaginative ways of understanding relations
between lives. Ethics is a practice of activist, adaptive and
creative interaction which avoids claims of overarching moral
structures. Inherent in thinking posthuman ethics is the status of
bodies as the site of lives inextricable from philosophy, thought,
experiments in being and fantasies of the future. Posthuman Ethics
explores certain kinds of bodies to think new relations that offer
liberty and a contemplation of the practices of power which have
been exerted upon bodies. The tattooed and modified body, the body
made ecstatic through art, the body of the animal as a strategy for
abolitionist animal rights, the monstrous body from teratology to
fabulations, queer bodies becoming angelic, the bodies of the
nation of the dead and the radical ways in which we might
contemplate human extinction are the bodies which populate this
book creating joyous political tactics toward posthuman ethics.
