“Still human?
On the condition and limits
of anthropos today”
and takes departure in the question of what it means to be human today, in a world characterized by what Paul Rabinow called “various logoi currently being assembled into contingent forms.” Drawing on classical philosophy as well as more recent thoughts in trans- and post-humanism the lecture will engage specifically with the animate-inanimate continuum and the essence-existence distinction.
