Description

The aim of this paper is to study the main factor taking industrial capital another stage forward and, consequently, finding a new concept in social relations. Firstly, studying the “Cultural War” between Pro-Choice and Pro-Life in American history, the base of capitalist society is given as the family form, in particular, the genesis-form of life. The latest revolution in life science, namely, bio-technology develops “bio-capital” and leads to the critical point beyond human nature: Post-humanism. As a result, the family form is now transformed into the “intimate sphere” free from sex, blood, and property. That signifies an “association of free individuals”, from where a new human history begins.
