Science,Emotion and Post-human:A Multidimensional Interpretation of Oryx and Crake
In Oryx and Crake,Canadian writer Margaret Atwood depicts a tragedy of human extinction caused by the misuse of biotechnology in the futuristic high-tech era.The internal logic chain between science,emotion and post-human is blended.Under the guidance of anthropocentrism,the scientific rationality provides people with a perfect technological utopia,while the trend of indifference to scientific ethics and liberal arts has misinterpreted the material and spiritual order,triggering a deep spiritual and emotional crisis.As representa-tives of the posthuman configuration,the Crakers finally embark on the path of retracing the history of human civilisation,such an outcome can be interpreted as an attempt to rebuild the relationship between post-human-ism and humanism.
