Twenty-first Century is an era of revolutionary changes in the industry, society, global economy, politics, philosophy, and culture. Technocentrism is the culture we have right now. Through centralizing the values on technology and having a belief that it can provide solutions to all environmental problems, they could bring forth progress and development. The progress Technocentrism bears liberates mankind from the confinement of the past. Considering the progress brought about by technology in society and to human agency, it has detrimental effects. One is “technological alienation” of human by the technology. The paper has to challenge the status quo without denying technocentrism progress. The paper attempts to synthesize and articulate posthumanism, maximize the progress of technocentrism through resolving the conflict between human agency and technology and alienation generating to objectification and dehumanization. Posthumanism as a proposed solution in resolving the conflict will be put into challenge if it can offer subjectivity, inter-subjectivity, harmonious relationship, and orderly realm without eradicating the presence of technocentrism.
