Description
The Inhuman by Jean-François Lyotard is a collection of philosophical essays that explore the complex relationship between humanity, technology, and the future. Written in Lyotard’s signature style, blending critical theory with postmodern philosophy, the book delves into themes of dehumanization brought about by technological advancement and the shifting definitions of what it means to be human. Lyotard reflects on how scientific progress, artificial intelligence, and the increasing role of technology in modern life challenge traditional humanist values and conceptions of subjectivity. He distinguishes between two forms of the inhuman: the inhumanity imposed by systems of power and technological control, and a more radical sense of the inhuman that points beyond the human condition, toward the unknown or the post-human. Through meditations on art, ethics, science, and time, Lyotard questions whether humanity can preserve its essence in an age where technology threatens to surpass human capabilities. The Inhuman offers a provocative critique of modernity and progress, pushing readers to consider the ethical and existential implications of living in an increasingly post-human world.
