Abstract

The current situation in the risk society characterised by the new realities (from the global climate change to the pandemic
penetration of a new virus in the human body) has brought to light the need to turn to a new paradigm of posthumanism,
i.e. supplementing the unequivocal optimistic orientation on sustainable development with a more pessimistic, but also
more topical and realistic, survival strategy aligned with extreme ethics, a new for ecological security in risk society.
