Post-egoism

Post-egoism

Post-egoism is a philosophy emerging from the schools of post-modernism and Buddhism that aims to transcend traditions of artistic egoism, ethical egoism, and notions of an autonomous self. It takes a holistic approach towards being human and like any other genre or designation, retroactively applies to many past artists and thinkers (as for example, and ironically, Friedrich Nietzsche with his concept of the Übermensch- and in extension, theorists of posthumanism).

The term appears to have been coined in "The University in Transformation" by Jennifer Gidley:

It has since been endorsed by philosopher and poet J.D. Casten in his 2007 book "Post-Digital Revelation". [cite book | last = Casten | first = J.D. | title = Post-Digital Revelation | publisher = CreateSpace | year = 2007 | isbn = 1434823121 ]
