Calley A. Hornbuckle (EDT), Jadwiga S. Smith (EDT), William S. Smith (EDT) Phenomenology of the Object and Human Positioning

Annotation

This edited volume explores the intersections of the human, nonhuman, transhuman, and posthuman from a phenomenological perspective.  Representing perspectives from several disciplines, these investigations take a closer look at the relationship between the phenomenology of life, creative ontopoiesis, and otherness; technology and the human; art and the question of humanity; nonhumans, animals, and intentionality; and transhumanism.  Ontological positioning of the human is reconsidered with regard to the nonhuman, transhuman, and posthuman within the cosmos.  Further examination of the artificial and object in the lifeworld is also explored.  This volume also pays tribute to Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka and her methodical contributions to phenomenology.  This text appeals to students and researchers of phenomenology worldwide.
