Abstract

Posthumanism is still a largely debated new field of contemporary philosophy that mainly aims at broadening the Humanist
perspective. Academics, researchers, scientists, and artists are constantly transforming and evolving theories and arguments, around
the existing streams of Posthumanist thought, Critical Posthumanism, Transhumanism, and Metahumanism, discussing whether
they can finally integrate or follow completely different paths towards completely new directions. This paper, written for the
1stMetahuman Futures Forum (Lesvos 2022) will focus on Metahumanism and Jaime del Val’s “Metahuman Futures
Manifesto” (2022) mainly as an open dialogue with Critical Posthumanism.
