Filozoficzna koncepcja człowieka na gruncie posthumanizmu
Philosophical Concept of Human on the Basis of Posthumanism

Summary/Abstract: The article analyses the concept of posthuman from a philosophical perspective. The considerations are based on the assumption that posthumanism includes a posthumanist philosophy whose subject is human and his situation in a changing world. The starting point for the analysis is the posthuman postulate of ‘workingthrough’ the humanist tradition which results in a non-essentialist concept of posthuman. The article presents the assumptions of the concept of posthuman based on the works of Donna Haraway and N. Katherine Hayles. Then, the paper analyses the influence of feminism and deconstructionism on posthumanist thought in reference to the works of Rosi Braidotti who proposed a relational approach to posthuman subjectivity. The article elucidates the materialistic embedment of the posthumanist subject, and then explains the claim of the significant role of human embodiment. Finally, considerations concern post-dualism, post-centrism and post-anthropocentrism of the philosophical concept of posthuman.
