Critical posthumanism criticizes the hümanist intellectual foundations in which other beings, in which human beings are at the center, are defined as secondary, and proposes a new ethical order in which all living things such as human, machine, animal and plant will live in equality. "Based on the fact that the articulation, of the subject with digital technologies makes it posthuman, does this new state of the subject take place within the framework of an ethical thught put forwad by critical posthumanist thinkers?"
