In Nous, animaux et humains, Tristan Garcia argues that the conception of the human that underlies modern humanism is undergoing a deep crisis, operated by two tendencies of opposite sign. On the one hand, an inner tendency that fragments the human "we" into multiple communities (ethnicities, religions, races, genders, sexual orientations); and, on the other hand, an extensive tendency that extends the circle of the "we" to the other animal species and even to the totality of the living.
In addition, the fact remains that there is a reformulation of the human through the unrestricted techno-digital triumph. The same is to say, the borders of the human are redefined in function of a resemantization of the world in charge of the technology. In this sense, the "we" connects, and in an ever more intimate and imperceptible way, with technology and its constant (and inexorable, some will say) becomings.
As can be seen at no cost, especially if we consider the impressive development of realities such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), it never made as much sense as today to reflect not only on the human question, but also, and certainly especially, around the post-human.
