The purpose of this study is to discuss the need to change the perception and perspective of post-human society. To achieve this goal, this study attempts to conduct a discussion of Trans-Humanism and Post-Humanism and the analysis of the film Ex Machina (2015). Basically, Trans-Humanism is a technology based on advanced science that seeks to improve intelligence, body, and psychology through the elimination of human aging and the modification of physical capacity. In other words, Trans-Humanism is a new evolution of modern humans. In the end, Trans-Humanism adheres to Technophilia’s position that the power of science and technology can overcome the limitations of human life. From the perspective of Trans-Humanism, human nature is cliché and is abolished. And trans-humans with improved bodies to overcome biological limitations can no longer be humans. However, it can be recognized as a human from the point of view of post-human. Post-Humanism differs in that it means a review of existing humanism. Basically, Post-Humanism began with the essential question of humanism. Thus, Post-Humanism breaks the binary oppositional paradigm of humans, machines or technology. Post-Humanism does not separate humans and machines, but approaches the concept of mixing and compounding. The error of modern people with regard to the future prospect of post-human society is that people try to predict and judge the future society from the perspective of humanism. Human beings living in the present have expectations and fears about the future. However, this view is only seen from the present point of view, and in the post-human society of the future, man is not a human concept with a traditional nature. Already in the post-human society, today’s human beings are advanced humans who are combined with machines and evolved in their intelligence, body, and emotions. In other words, the expectations and fears that can arise in a post-human society are merely an extension of the traditional humanism that puts humans as subjects and recognizes other post-human subjects as others. In conclusion, post-human society is the coexistence of mechanical human beings born of newly evolved biological humans and technology, and it is necessary to realize that the machines that human beings see today no longer exist.
