This article explores the challenges presented to bioethics by the emergence of transhumanism in the West. The exploration is approached from a genealogical research perspective. A genealogical investigation aims to question the conditions of intelligibility of transhumanism and from there analyze its impacts on the updating of a central debate in bioethics, namely: the limits to the manipulation of human life. Transhumanism, inhabiting the crisis of humanism that precedes and compels it, updates the issue of the human condition by presenting a line of argument that at least authorizes to formulate again the limit question: can we/should we go beyond the human?

Throughout its evolution, every theory usually faces certain challenges that prove its vitality. The discourse of rights, as a theoretical conception aimed at its explanation and foundation, is not exempt from the permanent task aimed at responding to these challenges. This essay analyzes the risks that are considered most decisive and pressing for the discourse of rights. To this end, three current challenges to the theory of rights are studied and three responses to them are suggested. Eleaticism, particularism and posthumanism are considered the main challenges facing reflection on rights today. The response to these attitudes is constituted by historicism, universalism and humanism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The short story collection Las voladoras, published in 2020 by Ecuadorian writer Mónica Ojeda, consists of eight stories that are shaped by an imaginative blend of the uncanny, violence, and the feminine. Within this narrative context, the aim is to address the assembly of women's bodies as heterogeneous constructs in relation to the violence they must confront, thus configuring posthuman subjectivities. We propose that in these stories, there are relationships between humans and non-humans that could be associated with what Donna Haraway terms "queer kinship." These relationships reveal ways of articulating women's identities with an explicitly collective and posthuman dimension, where Haraway's concept of "becoming-with" becomes paramount: "To be one is always to become with many". The reason these stories adopt this stance is because strictly human relationships, particularly those of men toward women, are highly hostile, marked by an excess of power and, therefore, violence. This motivates the need for women to generate complex, intergenerational, and vital connections among themselves and with other living entities, where such human exceptionalism can be nullified, contested, and/or transformed.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a growing reality with varied applications that poses many challenges, particularly to the notion of personhood and, consequently, to the understanding and experience of spirituality. This article takes stock of this situation by reflecting on the meaning of intelligence. It then reviews the applications of AI in contemporary life. The article concludes with a more speculative view on the possible implications of AI for spirituality, underlining that, although the outlook appears daunting, AI can provide new perspectives and serve as an avenue for a strengthening of spirituality.

It is proposed - starting from the complexities of today's world - to rethink human training in Health, where non-classical logics and other perspectives of current science are included. A contextualized configuration of professional performance, in the face of health/disease dilemmas; for the perpetuation of life. A methodology focused on the epistemologicalperformative approach was used, as a discursive construction. The performative character rests on what is questioned and on the praxiological proposal about the human formation of the health professional: living in a posthuman world that reaches him in his thoughts, professional discourse and personal life.

Techno-scientific advances have created valuable contributions to the development of science; however, they have also generated transformations in human conditions. For this reason, this writing presents a reflection on the transformations that human beings are experiencing in current societies, which are permeated by important scientific advances, the rise of technological developments and an overflowing consumerism typical of the neoliberal models that they have triggered transformations in own concept of the human person. The main conclusions support the consolidation of a consumer human being, endowed with exceptional capacities and with the apparent conquest of immortality, with a functioning synchronized with the globalized world and immersed in a society that is not exclusively human, consolidating posthumanism as a new humanism.

This article shows that the idea of an "unenhanced humanness", which defined Walter Benjamin's concept of the political in the early 1920s, is surreptitiously continued in what, in the preparatory notes to his essay about Karl Kraus of 1931, he calls "real humanism of the non-human". The discrepancies that Benjamin establishes in each case with the famous Friedrich Nietzsche's notion of Übermensch will be the common thread that links both moments. From this, it is shown how a singular politics of the (post)human emerges in Benjamin's writings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article I make a critical reflection against the humanistic ideology at the root of our ecological and public health crisis. I follow a number of authors who have proposed that classical Western humanism, by on the one hand constituting itself on the foundation of man's identity as a "rational animal" and on the other, giving itself a divine ontological status that takes it out of the natural world, has given its tacit consent to the project of submitting and dominating nature and the other that is not rational. I argue in favor of a different kind of humanism, built on Baruch Spinoza's monism and from there I show the link between Friedrich Hölderlin's Romanticism and Rosi Braidotti's posthumanism. Thus, I propose transforming our classical humanistic conception by drawing on the Spinozian tradition, which passes first through Hölderlin's aesthetic monism, arriving then at the posthuman task of becoming nature and animal. This does full justice to our essential vulnerability and finitude. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper pursues the historical-philosophical clarification of the intersection of three concepts that have a special importance in contemporary debates that have a bearing on the understanding of what the human being is, both as an individual entity and its relations with others and, also, as a sometimes inhospitable place nucleated by irresolvable tensions. In this sense, Judith Butler's performative approach is of special interest, which can be understood, on the one hand, as a complex and critical transhumanism and, on the other hand, as a proposal to understand the human beyond humanism, without resorting, therefore, to foundationalist ideals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Peter Sloterdijk's spherology, developed mainly in the three volumes of his work Spheres, poses a rigorous critique of humanism, as a feature of modernity and Western thought. His analysis, developed from a philosophical and phenomenological anthropology point of view, starts with the challenge of answering the question of where the human being is rather than what they are. From spatiality, this approach dislocates the possibility of an autonomous and self-referential subject. Although several of these ideas find resonance with the proposals of posthumanist philosophy, others are problematic. This essay seeks to develop a brief analysis of spherology to highlight its contributions and limitations for a destabilization of humanism, understood as the dualistic and anthropocentric logic materialized in the problematic re/production of limits: racialization, sexualization, and the naturalization of different forms of existence considered as non-human. It is proposed that a post-anthropocentrist and post-dualist vision, such as the one highlighted from a relational ontology at the base of posthumanism, can expand the notion of spheres and their generative or affirmative potential.

It is important to explore the questions about technic proposed by Derrida, because this allows to establish other subjects in his Work as is writing, the metaphysic of subjectivity's deconstruction, by way of questioning language as a factor for human excepcionality and the hierarchies antropho and biocentrincs. Futhermore, this allows us to thin about the relationship of deconstruction with porhumanist tendencies. It will be shown that, in spite that he doesn't state a philosophy of technics in a rigorous sense, Derrida is an important theoretic reference to explore the relationship between technics and the post humanist enquires.

With regard to the so-called "Anthropocene" era, in which human beings have become Earths' main telluric force, the humanities are clearly under siege. They must review in depth their conception of human being, usually defined as essentially different from Nature. Accordingly, two distinct ways of reaction are open: one retains the principles of the humanistic tradition, while the other one seeks to drift apart from that very same tradition, and to open up a new paradigm of thinking that might be called posthumanist. This paper broadly puts in contrast both approaches by asking which of them comes to grip with this event, and so lets us understand what does it mean to be human in this new era.

This study addresses a theoretical current born between the mythical narrative and the science that proposes the renewal of the human condition. The conceptual consolidation of post-humanism arises from new expectations about the prosperity, well-being and flourishing of a promising future for our world. This article explores post-humanist speculation igniting the scientific and technological triumphs of this century. Among the most characteristic features of this doctrine we highlight the human emancipation of the errors of modernity, the biotechnical control of life or the moral aspiration of bioethics.

The objective of this reflective article is to analyze technique and care as human essences and how their relationship and effects are in the humanistic contemporaneity routed towards posthumanism. Methodology: The experience of care in highly technical areas have created questions about the meaning and essence of care in technical spaces. From these two great concepts, a hermeneutical path is traveled. With theoretical references such as Heiddeger, Nietzche and Mélich to search for answers and new questions in a "dataist" and technified contemporaneity, which nullifies care as a human essence. Conclusion: A solution to the possible obsolescence of care is not to leave the technical aside, but to revive the care of care, to resignify the meaning of otherness that is mistakenly made invisible behind the curtain of a programmed and apparently necessary obsolescence. Caring for care is truly caring for the other and for this common home, it is recognizing finitude as orientation, as a possibility, as a response and an opening to care that allows closing gaps and opening opportunities. It is to consider the technical, not as a locator-exploiter mechanism, but, on the contrary, a caretaker. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In Los días de la fiebre, the Colombian writer Andres Felipe Solano recounts his experience in South Korea during the first three months of the pandemic, in 2020. From February to April, Solano describes his personal feelings, as well as his impressions regarding the changes that viral pandemic has introduced in the habits of the inhabitants of this East Asian country. Like other contemporary writers and thinkers who have written about the pandemic and the new normality that it has ushered in, Solano’s narrator uses the current circumstances to reflect on the growing tension between the right to privacy and state intervention, the new challenges imposed by stricter social distancing and isolation rules, and the collapse of Korea’s consumer society, and the collapse of capitalism overall. Beyond these topics, however, Los días de la fiebre is a book in which Solano explores and erases the limits between mind, body and machines, and between living and inanimate beings underlining the risks of post-humanism and a cyborg reality . The virus’s constant threat and the technology deployed to facilitate its detection and prevent its spread lead Solano to modify his self-image and to question both the autonomy and rationality on which rest many of the fantasies of modern man’s domination, and the ontological hierarchies through which this subject has organized his surroundings which are now in crisis.

This article presents a historical analysis of the environmental discourses used in the elaboration of conservation and economic use policies regarding Mexican Protected Areas, mainly based on ecotourism. The thesis that these discourses have been built and institutionalized from the discourse of economic development and that, as a result, nature has been objectified to satisfy the economic and recreational needs of the human being is defended. From the posthumanist theoretical perspective, it is concluded that the idea of implementing ecotourism or alternative tourism in Mexico is unethical because it has responded to economic logic, instead of a logic of environmental care and preservation.
