ABSTRACT
Before dialoguing with the posthuman, theologians must first determine which form of the posthuman to engage. In Chapter 3, I argued at length that the transhumanist posthuman vision and the cyborg vision of feminist Donna Haraway are not only different, but competing, posthuman constructions, with differing anthropological assumptions. In Chapter 4, the responses of various theologians to the posthuman challenges to theological anthropology, specifically with regard to notions of human uniqueness and moral agency, evidence various theological commitments and concerns as well as various forms of the posthuman currently at play, and implicitly demonstrate the importance of recognizing the complexity of the posthuman discourse and the differences between the cyborg and transhumanist posthuman visions.
