In various contributions, human intersubjectivity is of decisive concern (see for instance Chapter 8, by Steeves), an aspect of the human being that is, as we have already seen, perceptibly absent from the postmodernist as well as the transhumanist theories. Others examine the messy social practices in which people are always already anchored and which, for traditional theories of human nature, constitute a substantial and fundamental aspect of being human (see for instance Chapter 4, by Pasquale) or demonstrate that these practices do not seem to be a relevant element in the pursuit of the perfect transhuman being (see Chapter 2, by Murakami Wood). All the following contributions assume that it is possible to hold on to the concept of the human being and still conceptualize the changes – possibly also conceptual changes – that accompany the digitization of our societies. Accordingly, our collection aims at presenting new conceptual frameworks and vocabularies to help us understand and challenge emerging paradigms of what should be human and humanly possible for the digitized person, and to elucidate the economic, political, or social conditions that are necessary for a good digital life. The collection, as we understand it, is accordingly a further step toward thinking about and discussing the grounds for the possible and ongoing transformations of being human.", "attrs": null, "subkind": "paragraph", "toolName": null, "toolSlug": null, "confidence": null, "componentId": "ec209590-91fc-435f-8356-1bf45ba3f65c", "frameworkName": null, "frameworkSlug": null }, { "bbox": { "h": 0.015, "w": 0.084, "x": 0.458, "y": 0.054 }, "kind": "title", "text": "Introduction", "attrs": null, "subkind": "headline", "toolName": null, "toolSlug": null, "confidence": null, "componentId": "b68ede4f-2c74-41e7-bc4e-a35a53d64350", "frameworkName": null, "frameworkSlug": null }, { "bbox": { "h": 0.015, "w": 0.344, "x": 0.328, "y": 0.331 }, "kind": "title", "text": "1.3 OVERVIEW OF THE CHAPTERS", "attrs": null, "subkind": "subtitle", "toolName": null, "toolSlug": null, "confidence": null, "componentId": "2ba226a2-66d6-45cf-a4f8-52fb7e41df96", "frameworkName": null, "frameworkSlug": null } ], "metrics": [], "tools": [ { "name": "Audience Definition", "slug": "audience-definition", "agent": "Storyteller", "layer": "slide", "matchId": "29d69b59-14b1-48f8-a611-7fe91c7e569e", "evidence": "This question is also what the following chapters have in common.", "confidence": 0.7 } ], "frameworks": [], "arcBeats": [ { "to": 30, "from": 15, "beatId": "767c5313-a86d-47ec-b5ed-2464ee7b958f", "arcName": "The Transformation Tale", "arcSlug": "transformation-tale", "beatName": "Current Reality (Pain)", "beatSlug": "transformation-tale-current-reality-pain", "evidence": "The document introduces the concept of posthumanism and its implications for human identity.", "position": 0, "confidence": 0.8, "parentBeatName": "Complication", "parentBeatSlug": "complication" } ], "loops": [ { "to": 25, "from": 17, "name": "Golden Circle", "slug": "11-golden-circle", "bestFor": "Visionary leadership, brand positioning, mission statements", "matchId": "c643ceee-3f48-447b-8456-baa84c2c4f5b", "evidence": "The document introduces the concept of posthumanism and its implications for human identity, using a golden circle framework.", "position": 0, "objective": "To understand the why, what, and how of human flourishing in a digital world", "structure": "The Why (Belief) -> The How (Process) -> The What (Result)", "confidence": 0.7, "description": "Invert the typical pitch by starting with why you exist, rather than what you do" } ], "imagePathAlt": null, "thumbSrc": null, "thumbSrcAlt": null, "locked": true }
