Is it even possible to relinquish our humanity? Would that make us in-human? Wouldn’t that just make the crises we face such as climate change worse? Aren’t our exceptional language, building and thinking skills the hope for how we might reconfigure a more stable, resilient, safe and healthy future? Or is it the belief that, as humans, we are somehow exceptional, more important and valuable than all other beings, the thing that has gotten us into this mess? This episode of the podcast asks what it means to be human today, how humans thrive, how we live with nonhuman others, and if ideas of “posthumanism“, discussed widely in academia, are finding their way into our everyday conversations to help us reconfigure how we live our lives in balance with the world around us.
