Technohumanism, global crises, and educationtoward a posthuman pedagogy /[electronic resource] :by Kaustuv Roy. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2022. - xi, 198 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

1. Introduction: Technohumanism and Global Crises -- 2. The Pandemic and its Source in Culture -- 3. Pitfalls of Humanist Education -- 4. Outline of a Non-humanist Trajectory -- 5. Posthumanist Approach in Pedagogy -- 6. Posthuman Ecologies and Social Action -- 7. Epilogue.

This book argues that global crises such as the present Covid-19 pandemic are correlates of the contemporary thought regime that it calls technohumanism. Taking up the pandemic as the central case in point, the book shows how the basic assumptions of technohumanism encourage large-scale dependencies and a consequent loss of endurance in the populace. Next, it shows that a form of recuperation can be pedagogically attempted by means of a "psychoanalysis" of thought which releases it from the humanist limits placed on it. To do this, it introduces the notion of a living unconscious as distinct from the Freudian Unconscious, and argues that in the living unconscious there is no distinction between the prehuman and the posthuman, and a posthumanist pedagogy can be constructed on the basis of an adequate transfer of prehuman dynamism. Kaustuv Roy is Professor in the Liberal Arts and Sciences School at TIET, Patiala, India. Previously, he was faculty at Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, USA. His recent books include Reincarnating Experience in Education: A Pedagogy of the Twice-Born, Teachers and Teaching: Time and the Creative Tension, and The Power of Philosophy: Thought and Redemption, all published by Palgrave Macmillan.
