In the book’s afterword, Joris Vlieghe recapitulates and builds on the arguments in the book by focusing in on the problematic relation between the inhuman and the human. More exactly, he develops three different degrees of radicalness of this relation: (1) (in)humanism as a qualified, more down-to-earth and hence tragic and perverse humanism; (2) (in)humanism as an uncompromising non-humanism; and (3) (in)humanism as post-humanism. Admitting that the third perspective is the least developed one in Ford’s text, Vlieghe insists it is the most crucial one.
