In a world that is rapidly transforming due to technological development and the devastating effects of the ecological crisis, we are called to reevaluate everything we believed about human existence and society. What are the limits and possibilities of social theory in the face of the challenges of our time?
Inspired by the groundbreaking thoughts of leading theorists such as Bruno Latour, Bernard Stiegler, Jane Bennett, and others, this book presents the critical post-humanist current and seeks to answer crucial questions such as: How do the social sciences transform when the boundaries between human/machine, culture/nature, society/technology become indistinct? Is it possible to understand society without including non-human entities? How does the concept of society change in an increasingly technologized world? Are technologies merely tools or co-creators in shaping humanity and social reality?
The book is intended not only for academics, students, and researchers but also for those seeking new ways to understand the complex and hybrid reality of the modern social world.
