Abstract

Humanism and some Anti-humanistic theories share the same dialectical logic, which is deconstructed by Derrida but lacks alternatives. On the other hand, humanism is easily brought back into the discussion of Posthumanistic subjects due to anthropomorphism characterized by dialectics. This article tries to differentiate the "Posthuman" in its narrow sense from Antihumanism in its broad sense. Such Posthuman is exteriority that detours the consciousness of subjectivity, monism that deconstructs all kinds of fundamentalism and binary, and, finally, empirical embodiment.

Key words

posthuman / humanism / anti-humanism / deconstructionism / dialectics
