The posthuman community continues to grow, and we are endlessly grateful to welcome Ed Sönke Schätzke, a Communication Design student at the University of Applied Sciences in Berlin, to our team. 

Ed is also a talented graphic artist and has created a beautiful project to help visualize posthumanism’s three central pillars: Post-Humanism, Post-Anthropocentrism, and Post-Dualism. 

Through his designs, he hopes to “encourage people who discover them to make further research and inspire them to rethink their habits,” he writes. 

He welcomes you to download these symbols, for free, here.

As Ed writes, “This will be the beginning of a creative, international philosophically active network.”

Posthumanism defies boundaries and seeks to blur and eventually transcend the rigid demarcations that have contributed to inter- and intra-special alienation. Multimedia awareness is one effective way to continue this mission.

Thank you again to Ed for his work. We are so grateful for his talent and to be able to share it with this community.

“Change the world,” he writes. “Today, for tomorrow. For the future.”

The concept of transhumanism emerged in the middle of the 20th century, and has influenced discussions around AI, brain–computer interfaces, genetic technologies and life extension. Despite its enduring influence in the public imagination, a fully developed philosophy of transhumanism has not yet been presented.
​
In this new book, leading philosopher Stefan Lorenz Sorgner explores the critical issues that link transhumanism with digitalization, gene technologies and ethics. He examines the history and meaning of transhumanism and asks bold questions about human perfection, cyborgs, genetically enhanced entities, and uploaded minds.
Offering insightful reflections on values, norms and utopia, this will be an important guide for readers interested in contemporary digital culture, gene ethics, and policy making.
