The philosopher Rosi Braidotti has declared that the future of the humanities will be posthumanist, owing to forces of both virtue and necessity. “Posthumanism” names an array of conditions and intellectual positions that have challenged ideas stemming from the classic humanist conviction that man is the measure of all things. Its many points of origin include theoretical critiques of the illusory rational and autonomous “man” central to some articulations of humanism, as well as arguments that humanistic ideals have been (mis-) used to justify colonialism, racism, sexism, and exploitation rooted in liberal capitalism. Its origins also include new technologies that supplant traditional functions of human thought and labor, algorithms that make decisions for us and devices that augment and transform our bodies. Its reality manifests in escalating climate crises—droughts and hurricanes, fires and winter storms, vanishing coastlines and water shortages that should make clear that centuries of unthinking anthropocentrism might lead to the end of the so-called Anthropocene. With Braidotti and others urging updates to our ethical and political outlooks, I think the future of the humanities will indeed be posthumanist, for better or worse.1 The academic humanities have long known that “man” is a questionable concept and historical actor, of course, and a habit of critiquing our own presuppositions has prepared the humanities to help our world meet its posthumanist future.
