More about the book
Focusing on the Covid-19 pandemic, the book critiques the concept of technohumanism, which fosters dependencies and diminishes resilience in society. It proposes a pedagogical approach to recovery through a "psychoanalysis" of thought that transcends humanist constraints. Introducing the idea of a living unconscious, distinct from the Freudian model, it contends that this framework blurs the lines between prehuman and posthuman, suggesting that a posthumanist education can harness prehuman dynamism for societal growth.
