Abstract

Under the impact of intelligent technology represented by AI, the belief that human nature is unshakably stable held by traditional humanism is shaken, with concepts such as "post-humans" and "post-human society" emerging in various intellectual trends of technology and culture. For most post-humanists, technology is the key to leading humans to a post-human society. From the perspective of reflective interaction between humans and technology, we can divide post-human society into three different landscapes, namely, Industry 4.0 society, Cyborg society and technology singularity society. Various intellectual trends of technology and culture such as human-centralism, super-humanism and the idea of technology singularity supporting different post-human social landscapes are worth further exploration.
