Abstract

Utilitarian theory’s ideal could not be adequately carried out in practice; humanism proved insufficient; antihumanism was problematic. Posthumanism was proposed and developed to cope with the changing science, technology, and society by removing the anthropocentric element of humanism and starting to grant non-human beings intrinsic value instead of merely an instrumental one. Despite human beings’ exact progression in a posthuman world, posthuman theory can nevertheless serve as a guiding ideology when viewing specific cases and engaging in discourse, resulting in a far-reaching influence on legislature and society.
