Preview The post-human condition

Description:
This work challenges many of the humanist assumptions of Western philosophy, science and art. It proposes a view of the human condition building on the findings of quantum theory, chaos theory, catastrophe theory, cybernetics, cyberpunk and "New Ageism", taking into account current scientific and technological developments. The author asserts that as we enter the Post Human era, many of our beliefs are redundant, most obviously the belief in the human being. Historically, the social evolution from the Agricultural era to the Industrial era was accompanied by a cultural shift from theism to humanism. The current shift from the Industrial era to the Technological era brings with it radical changes in cultural values and the impact of high technology and increasing automation is changing the way we think about ourselves and our environment.
