The purpose of this paper is to interrogate the possibility of the posthuman as a concept that can transcend the limits of the universal humanities. The concept of the posthuman in the context of philosophical and sociopolitical discourses is examined for its implication which is not confined to the meaning of the technological improvement of the human body, but extends to the concept that helps to overcome many prejudices and discriminations in the societies. At the advent of the machines with superintelligence, the need of redefining the human arises with spreading anxiety over the humanness. Rosi Braidotti and N. Katherine Hayles investigate the concept of the posthuman to give answers to various questions concerning the formation of the posthuman. Both Hayles and Braidotti explicate the concept of the posthuman based on the materiality which Spinoza and Descartes provide the foundational thoughts. The concept of the human entails being alive with the biological body and mental ability to perceive the environment. Such a notion was conceived and developed within the western philosophical canon, and still occupies a position in defining the human consciousness in contrast with the consciousness of the artificial intelligence. What I portray in this essay is not to reiterate the conventional notions around the posthuman, but to argue that the real interest of the posthuman studies lies in questioning how the concept of the human can be reconceived in making the posthuman.
