Posthumanism is a mode of analysis highly skeptical of the centrality afforded the human in Western philosophical and political thought. Where humanism holds that the human is defined by unique properties such as language or culture, posthumanism emphasizes that, just like other beings and objects, humans are continually and differentially produced through biological, technological, and other more‐than‐human forces. Posthumanism can be approached as an historical epoch, as a matter of epistemological style that deconstructs the universal claims of humanism, and as an ontological condition that argues we have never been human.
