Renaissance Posthumanism brings together two historical periods—“Renaissance” signifying a rebirth of the ancient and “Posthumanism” a death of the modern—to ponder each through the possibilities of the other. This collection rethinks the humanities under the auspices of the posthumanities of the posthumanities under the auspices of Renaissance humanism.
