is the idea that when humanist say we are treating humans like objects, we are in fact treating objects unfairly. . . Humanist are concerned only about humans. The rest is cold objectivity.

What Habermas has entirely missed, however, is that when humanist accuse people of 'treating humans like objects', they are thoroughly unaware that they are treating objects unfairly. A humanist cannot imagine that objects may be things, that matters of facts might be matters of concern, that the whole language of science and engineering might be portrayed as anything other than the boring carriers of the indisputable necessities that modernism has rendered popular. (latour cautious prometheus) . . . Humanist are concerned only about humans... the rest, for them, is mere materiality or cold objectivity. But Sloterdijk is not treating humans matter of factually as humanist claim. Rather, he treats both humans and non-humans as 'matters of grave and careful concerns'. By treating human life supports as matters of concern, we pile concerns over concerns, we fold, we envelop, we embed humans into more and more elements that have been carefully explicated, protected, conserved and maintained (immunology being, according to Sloterdijk, the great philosophy of biology). (latour cautious prometheus)
