The book explores the obsolescence of classical humanism through a post-humanistic lens, arguing that its notion of identity fails to capture the relational and historical nature of humanity. It contrasts this with mimetic theory, particularly the ideas of René Girard, which offer a more effective framework for understanding the subject. The author aims to demonstrate how Girard's hypotheses align with contemporary post-humanist perspectives, providing a deeper comprehension of human identity and existence.
