Post humanism

MOVING BEYOND THE LIMITATIONS OF A HUMAN.
In critcial theory, the posthuman is a 'speculative' being that represents or seeks to enact a re-writing of what is generally conceived of as human.

EVERY HUMAN HAS THESE QUALITIES.Human nature is universal state from which human being emerges. Human nature is autonomous, rational, capable of free will and unfied in itself as the apex of existence.

HUMANS ARE CRITICAL OF THEIR PHYSICAL AND MENTAL LIMITATIONS.
Posthuman recognises imperfectability and disunity within him or herself, instead understanding the world through context and heterogenerous perspectives.

HUMAN BEINGS CAN ALTER THEIR MENTAL AND PHYSICAL STATE TO BECOME ANOTHER BEING ENTIRELY.
Key to this posthuman practice is the ability to fluidly change perspectives and manifest oneself through different identities. For critical theorists of the subject, has an emergent ontology rather than a stable one: posthuman isn't singular, defined indvidual, but rather one who can "become" or embody different identities and understand the world from multiple, heterogeneous perspectives
