Les récits du posthumain
Releasing human being from his biological constraints, increasing his physical, cerebral and memory capacities, making up for his deficiencies, sparing him from suffering and perhaps even from dying… What if such ambitions were no longer forbidden? Prostheses, orthoses, pacemakers, eye and brain implants, electrical stimulators, transplants, gene therapies, cloning: irrepressible scientific advances are shaping such a future?

Releasing human being from his biological constraints, increasing his physical, cerebral and memory capacities, making up for his deficiencies, sparing him from suffering and perhaps even from dying… What if such ambitions were no longer forbidden? Prostheses, orthoses, pacemakers, eye and brain implants, electrical stimulators, transplants, gene therapies, cloning: irrepressible scientific advances are shaping such a future? Will human nature be changed? Anyway, this is what “transhumanist” discourses support, convinced of the imminent emergence of a “new man”: the posthuman. Placed under the aegis of Unesco, this book brings together philosophers, anthropologists, writers, lawyers, specialists in art and digital sciences. At a time when the Internet and new technologies, video surveillance and social networks have already powerfully modified our relationships, a new discourse is now emerging before our eyes, overwhelming us with promises.
