On the future of the humanities

This book is about the future of the humanities, the main issues of modern philosophy and philology in the epoch following postmodernism and post-structuralism, in particular, to the emerging field of "transhuman" studies, dealing with the fate of the human in the epoch of virtual reality and artificial intelligence. The author looks into the nature of cultural gaps (blank areas) in culture and language studies, he thinks that filling these gaps will bring new artistic and theoretical practices: from erotology to horrorology, from the ecology of text to the theory of fate. This study is made across many social disciplines. Like many previous books by this author, this one is a collection of essays organized topically. Dictionary of terms, name index, summary in English. Michael Epstein is a professor of Cultural Theory and Russian Literature at Emory University (Atlanta, USA).
