Im Rahmen der Buchreihe «Beyond Humanism: Trans- and Posthumanism / Jenseits des Humanismus: Trans- und Posthumanismus» erscheinen Monographien und Sammelbände, die Aspekte zum Themenspektrum des Humanismus entweder historisch oder systematisch erörtern. Hierzu gehören die Krise des Humanismus sowie die daraus resultierenden zwei Hauptströmungen, die sich darum bemühen, den Humanismus zu überwinden, der Trans- und der Posthumanismus.
In recent years, calls for a new humanism have arisen from a variety of voices across the spectrum of philosophy, expressing frustration with outdated models of the human that cannot account for the richness of our social being. The postmodern deconstruction of the human now requires a reconstructive moment. In response, the author articulates a new and explicitly posthumanist humanism using the framework developed by Jean-Paul Sartre in his later Marxist-Existentialist works. Sartre's unique dialectical and hermeneutical methods allow us to reconceptualize the human beyond traditional dichotomies of individual/social and freedom/necessity. The author argues that the individual and the social should be understood as existing within a dynamic, co-constituting interrelation, and that individual autonomy is not at odds with, but rather fundamentally enabled by, the social.
