definition of Human

Cartesian dualism
-
Philosophy guiding “disenchantment of nature” and colonialism, scientific racism
-
-

-
Why important to solarpunk?
-
Transhumanist versions/posthuman
-
not new – cyberpunk had bodiless human – cadigan specifically called out in fiction, many other authors
-
-
-
important to know which version is being talked about – both come with a lot of philosophical/historical baggage
-
admit idk much about transhumanist baggage other than that most of its proponents are wealthy, mostly white, cis men who adhere to the mind/body split doctrind
-
-
solarpunk posthuman more like Haraway’s cyborg, innocent of origins
-
philosophical post-Human work has been done in gender studies so reality of solarpunk cyborg won’t have to think about it
-
solarpunk about embodied reality, rather than disembodied (extremely expensive) fictions?
