Abstract
Posthumanism comes in different flavours. The most common are critical posthumanism (CP) and speculative posthumanism (SP). Both are critical of human-centred (anthropocentric) thinking. However, their critiques apply to different areas: CP is a broad-based attack on the supposed anthropocentrism of modern philosophy and intellectual life; SP opposes human-centric thinking about the long-run implications of modern technology.
