SCHOLARS. DIRECT DOI: 10.36959/763/514 Mocombeian Antihumanism Paul C Mocombe * West Virginia State University, The Mocombeian Foundaton, Inc., USA The clarion call by discriminated against others, i.e., gays, women, blacks, transgenders, etc., around the world for rec- ogniton of their humanity, under concepts such as intersec- tonality, double consciousness, hybridity, etc., by their op- pressors, is highly problematc in the age of climate change where global warming, resource exhauston, and polluton in late capitalist development threatens all life on earth. That is to say, the (politcal) liberal humanism or human rights they (the discriminated against) want to be recognized under is “concerned to emphasize human welfare and dignity, and ei- ther optmistc about the powers of human reason, or at least insistent that we have no alternatve but to use it as best we can” [1]. This humanist positon dominates over all other con- ceptons of humanism and human rights: For examples, the Renaissance concepton with its emphasis on the “rediscovery of the unity of human beings and nature, and a renewed cel- ebraton of the pleasures of life”; or the postmodern/feminist rejecton of humanism, with its reliance upon “the possibility of the autonomous, self-conscious, ratonal, and single self”, in favor of the “fragmentary, splintered, historically and social- ly conditoned nature of personality and motvaton” [1]. The problem for me, which I call the humanist problem elsewhere, is that the frst form of humanism (politcal liberal humanism) as encapsulated in the bourgeois concepts (the politcs) of intersectonality, double consciousness, hybridity, feminism, etc., is contradictory, paradoxical, and oppressive [2]. There is a contradictory and oppressive confict wherein the intersec- tonal, hybrid, doubled, etc., bourgeois “others” seek equal- ity of opportunity, recogniton, and distributon, with their former white colonial masters/oppressors by convictng the later for not applying their humanist values to the discrim- inated against intersectonal, hybrid, doubled, etc., others who are, paradoxically, oppressed by the very humanist (eco- nomic) values they want recognized among them, which the whites/oppressors uphold for themselves while denying it for the “other.” In other words, the discriminated against other wants to be recognized as an “other” with ratonality and rea- son, like their white counterparts, for equality of opportuni- ty, recogniton, distributon. This despite the fact their desire perpetuates an “enframing” ontology, (economic) humanist (neo)liberalism, which threatens all life on earth through its exploitatve (instrumental ratonal) practces, resource ex- hauston, polluton, etc. Hence the two forms of humanism (economic and politcal liberal humanism) are contradicto- ry and incompatble when it comes to the “other” seeking equality of opportunity, recogniton, and distributon within (neoliberal) capitalism: In the politcal sphere, they seek to be recognized as an human other by recursively organizing and reproducing the human ideals of their oppressors for equality of opportunity, recogniton, and distributon within the eco- nomic (neoliberal) sphere, which perpetuates and promotes resource exhauston, polluton, global warming, oppression, and exploitaton as keys to human welfare and dignity. I call this paradoxical conditon the humanist problem [2]. Perspective Article Abstract In the age of neoliberal (postndustrial) globalizaton social integraton takes place, paradoxically, through the identty politcs of postmodernism and poststructuralism on the one hand, and the contnuous atomizaton of the human subject in (neo)liberalism on the other. This process, for me, is a contnuaton of the humanist ideology of liberalism and a humanist reactonism among previously discriminated against others seeking equality of opportunity, recogniton, and distributon with their white liberal counterparts. In this work, I argue that the two aforementoned humanisms must be supplanted with an anthumanist philosophy, what I am calling Mocombeian anthumanism, which decenters human agental moments in the world to salvage it from self-annihilaton in the age of climate change where global warming, polluton, resource exhauston in late capitalist development threatens all life on earth.
