Focusing on the Covid-19 pandemic, the book critiques the concept of technohumanism, which fosters dependencies and diminishes resilience in society. It proposes a pedagogical approach to recovery through a "psychoanalysis" of thought that transcends humanist constraints. Introducing the idea of a living unconscious, distinct from the Freudian model, it contends that this framework blurs the lines between prehuman and posthuman, suggesting that a posthumanist education can harness prehuman dynamism for societal growth.

The book explores a transformative educational approach that transcends traditional mind-centric methods by integrating somatic, psychic, and symbolic dimensions. It emphasizes the importance of experiencing knowledge through a dynamic interplay between intuition and intellect. The concept of a "pedagogy of the twice-born" is introduced, where true education involves a two-stage process: an involuntary immersion in the everyday world followed by a conscious pursuit of deeper understanding. This journey fosters autonomy and a sense of existential hope.
