This is the case particularly in those traditions emerging from European and Enlightenment philosophies. Posthumanism disrupts these traditional humanist outlooks and interrogates their profound shaping of how we see ourselves, our place in the world, and our role in its protection. In \u003ci\u003ePosthumanism in Practice\u003c\/i\u003e, artists, researchers, educators, and curators set out how they have developed and responded to posthumanist ideas across their work in the arts, sciences, and humanities, and provide examples and insights to support the exploration of posthumanism in how we can think, create, and live. In capturing these ideas, \u003ci\u003ePosthumanism in Practice\u003c\/i\u003e shows how posthumanist thought can move beyond\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book offers an essential overview of how posthuman perspectives are intervening in the sciences, in the arts, and in education.
