dc.description	This article explores the tension between the humanistic, eugenic concept of identity and that of posthumanism in Octavia Butler’s “Amnesty” (2005). Using Daphne Hampson’s feminist post-Biblical perspective, the article argues that the story exposes a posthumanist perspective where the existence and subjectivity of human kind is defined based on a mutual, non-hierarchical relation between the human and nonhuman worlds. This article suggests that “Amnesty,” reflecting an unothered perspective of life through an unorthodox theological perspective, illustrates the potential for a more humanitarian life on Earth.
