The article is an attempt to review the ecological discourse in the light of posthuman philosophy. The main concept addressed by the author is the Anthropocene: the name of the new geological epoch, which betokens growing influence of human practices on the condition of Earth. Analyzing the concept of the Anthropocene, the author outlines its history, to date critique and related controversies (within natural sciences and humanities). The author also observes that the Anthropocene functions as an ambivalent philosophical metaphor, which underlies contemporary ecological discourse. In an attempt to challenge Anthropocene-tric thought, the author  advances a new concept which, in his opinion, could replace ecology. The concept is called eco-logics, and may be defined as ‘thinking through home’.

The article presents a reflection on the presence of animals in the Holocaust and in the narratives that underpinned it. The starting point of this consideration is the book by a Polish literary scholar – Piotr Krupiński „Why did the Geese Shriek?” Animals and the Holocaust in Polish Literature of the 20th and 21st Century. The author juxtaposes the book with the comic book Maus by Art Spiegelman and the nazi propaganda film The Eternal Jew. The article raises questions about, among others, suffering of animals, a human–animal dualism in the context of the Holocaust, zoomorphism, and controversies over the so called animal holocaust. The author points out that we should remember the human is also an animal, especially at the time of the reflection on the Holocaust, which reveals the issue of “community of death”.

The aim of this article is to present a proposal for supplementing the humanities with the posthuman activist onto-epistemological tools. The author, taking the concept of the posthuman community as a starting point, performs the process of rethinking the oikology – a philosophy of the home that grew out of Silesia. Posthuman oikology is intended to transcend the limitations encountered by ecological thought towards the author’s concept of eco-logic. Eco-logical humanities are intended as an affirmative response to the cognitive crisis associated with, among other things, climate change and the predicted catastrophe.

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie propozycji uzupełnienia myśli humanistycznej o posthumanistyczne aktywistyczne narzędzia ontoepistemologiczne. W tym celu autor, biorąc za punkt wyjścia koncepcję posthumanistycznej wspólnoty, dokonuje przez jej pryzmat relektury oikologii – wyrosłej na gruncie śląskim nauki o domu. Posthumanistyczna oikologia ma stanowić przekroczenie ograniczeń, na jakie napotyka myśl ekologiczna, w kierunku autorskiej koncepcji eko-logiki. Uprawiana w jej duchu humanistyka ma stanowić afirmatywną odpowiedź na kryzys poznawczy związany m.in. ze zmianami klimatu i zapowiadaną katastrofą.
