   内容摘要：Why, then, are we to reach beyond or overcome ourselves and our humanity? Why are we to seek to become transhuman or further posthuman? Why do we not accept our human limits and renounce transcendence? Humans passing the era of 21th-century try to ask these questions, and at the same time have attempted to answer them. Now, humanism whose principles are based upon autonomy, reason, free will, and consciousness, has come under attack from many perspectives: 1) anti-humanist positions such as poststructuralism and postmodernism, which see human subject as the manifestation of the Other in the symbolic order of language; 2) political positions such as feminism and ecological environmentalism, which decenter/recenter human subject in terms of gender and nature; 3) posthumanism which sees technology as the cornerstone for human transcendence. What appears to be a crisis becomes an opportunity when one sees from a different perspective. The anti-humanist attack from the first poststructuralist/postmodernist position provides such a perspective, and posthumanism/transhumanism is such an opportunity, whereas the other positions have their shares in overcoming the crises as well. In this context, nevertheless, the purpose of this presentation is to provoke the significance of literature in the era of posthuman age.
