Abstract
El posthumanismo parte de la premisa de estar superando un humanismo obsoleto en diversos puntos fundamentales. Autores como Peter Sloterdijk retoman así la crítica que, en su momento, Martin Heidegger realizara al humanismo en su ya célebre Carta a Jean Beaufret. Pero el pensador del olvido del ser había olvidado en este caso el humanismo, o al menos a su corriente no platónica y meridional: la retórica humanista y democrática. De este modo el posthumanismo, en sus interesantes propuestas, parte con el déficit no sólo de este olvido poco inocente, sino de lo que implica: la asunción de ciertos rasgos del pensamiento gótico. Frente a ello y a la idea de tabula rasa, invitamos en este trabajo a rescatar la retórica como un modo democrático de enfrentarse a los problemas actuales de la política.
Posthumanism is based on the premise that there are several key points at which obsolete humanism must be superseded. Authors such as Peter Sloterdijk have updated the critique that Martin Heidegger levelled at humanism in his well-known Letter to Jean Beaufret. But the thinker who dealt with the forgetting of being forgot to consider the non-platonic and Southern current of humanism: the idea of humanist and democratic rhetoric. In this fashion posthumanism could offer interesting proposals, while starting from a rather less-than-innocent conceptual deficit, and forgetting the implications of its assumption of certain aspects of Gothic thought. In contrast, and against the idea of the tabula rasa, in this study we invite the reader to join us in re-examining Rhetoric as a democratic means of facing current problems in politics.
