      abstract = {This volume discusses the definitional problems and  conceptual strategies involved in defining the human. By  crossing the boundaries of disciplines and themes, it  offers a transdisciplinary platform for exploring the new  ideas of the human and adjusting to the dynamic in which we  are plunged. The emerging cyborgs and transhumans call for  an urgent reconsideration of humans as individuals and  collectives. The identity of the human in the 21st century  eludes definitions underpinned by simplifying and  simplified dichotomies. Affecting all the spheres of life,  the discoveries and achievements of recent decades have  challenged the bipolar categorizations of human/nonhuman  and human/machine, real/virtual and thus opened the door to  transdisciplinary considerations. Ours is a new world where  the boundaries of normality and abnormality, a legacy of  the long history of philosophy, medicine, and science need  dismantling. We are now on our way to re-examine,  re-understand, and re-describe what normal-abnormal,  human-nonhuman, and I-we-they mean. We find ourselves  facing what resembles the liminal stage of a global ritual,  a stage of being in-betweenbetween the old anthropocentric  order and a new position of blurred boundaries. The volume  addresses philosophical, bioethical, sociological, and  cognitive approaches developed to transcend the binaries of  human-nonhuman, natural-artificial, individual-collective,  and real-virtual.},
