Reviews

"""The book contributes to debates about the dualism of structure and agency which have their origins in (critical) realism. Post-Human Futures: Human Enhancement, Artificial Intelligence and Social Theory (Carrigan and Porpora 2021) distinguishes between the epistemological and the ontological realms and establishes a new humanism that will be meaningful to praxis. "" -Birgul Ulutas, Postdigital Science and Education"
