posthuman architecture
Introduction
In philosophy, posthumanism is used, on the one hand, as a way of designating currents of thought that aspire to overcome humanism in the sense of the ideas and images coming from the classical Renaissance. This is how we intend to update these conceptions after the second half of the century, when the humanist subject began to decline.[1].
The term posthumanism is also given to the generation that comes after postmodernist, postcolonial, gender, race reflection and a vision that comes from voices that began after the seventies.[2] However, posthumanism is not a closed concept, "rather an index to describe our moment"[3] (Braidotti, 2015). And it is not about understanding what the human being is in essence, but rather what he wants to become and what he can become as a species.[4].
Another use of the term posthumanism is that which is usually assimilated as the destiny of transhumanism by overcoming intellectual and physical limitations through technological control of its own biological evolution (see Human Genetic Engineering), emerging a physicalist existential state in which the natural transcendence of humanity is already mastered.
Poshuman is a concept notably originating in the fields of science fiction, futurology, contemporary art, and philosophy. These multiple interacting origins have contributed to the deep confusion surrounding the similarities and differences between the posthuman of "postmodernism" and the posthuman of "transhumanism."
Posthumanism and technology have been advancing hand in hand since it is currently a way to access knowledge. Social networks, smartphones and others are instruments that facilitate our access to knowledge. Relativistic and quantum knowledge have been different types of knowledge with which we have been developing technology because they arise from modern physics.
In addition to posthumanism taking the form of nature in society, the hypotheses about the emergence of a new human prototype open a period of reflection on the promises of technology.
Adding that after the pandemic caused by COVID-19, posthumanism gained greater importance, ceasing to be only existential, that is, transforming into a philosophy that helps human beings understand "who they are".[2].
Posthuman
Posthuman or post-human is a concept originating in the fields of science fiction, futurology, contemporary art, and philosophy, meaning a person or entity that exists in a state beyond, while remaining human.[5] The goals of the concept are to address a variety of issues, including ethics and justice, language and trans-species communication, social systems, and the intellectual aspirations of interdisciplinarity.
