Abstract :Tamar Sharon’s book, therefore, entails the question of what it means to be human — or posthuman — from a broader scope with an insight into the posthumanities, a field that merges the social, natural, and medical sciences. Sharon’s critical assessment over the posthumanist debates presents a detailed analysis of various approaches to posthumanism. The author critically engages with the alternatives presented to explain the meaning of being human, and she suggests that several of the approaches to posthumanism that have been grounded in a humanist ontology highlighting a distinction between the human and the technological do not address the question of what it means to be human from a fully posthumanist perspective.
Keywords : Biotechnology, Human Nature, Posthumanism, TAMAR SHARON
