• Sommario/riassunto: Humanesis critically examines central strains of posthumanism, searching out biases in the ways that human-technology coupling is explained and interrogating three approaches taken by posthumanist discourse: scientific, humanist, and organismic. David Cecchetto's investigations reveal how each perspective continues to hold on to elements of the humanist tradition that it is ostensibly mobilized against.
