Abstract

Humanisms, Posthumanisms and Neohumanisms, proposes a reflection articulated in different parts, from revisiting early Humanism, to a study of Humanism in an historical perspective that comprises the beginning of European Colonialism in the “New World,” and the violent historical events that took place in the twentieth century, including the Shoah. Finally, this volume introduces the notion of Neohumanisms and investigates the notion of Posthuman philosophy and literature.
