- THE PEOPLE CHEERING FOR HUMANITY’S END
- Man is an invention of recent date. And one perhaps nearing its end.
- In The Order of Things (1966), the French philosopher Michel Foucault heralded… one day “man would be erased, like a face drawn in the sand at the edge of the sea.”
- In the 21st century, Anthropocene anti-humanism offers a much more radical response to a much deeper ecological crisis. It says that our self-destruction is now inevitable, and that we should welcome it as a sentence we have justly passed on ourselves.
- Transhumanism, by contrast, glorifies some of the very things that anti-humanism decries—scientific and technological progress, the supremacy of reason. But it believes that the only way forward for humanity is to create new forms of intelligent life that will no longer be Homo sapiens.
