Humanism has been seen continually as a stone of civility touch. Thus, in 1999, the philosopher Peter Sloterdijk presented a conference in Baviera entitled Rules for the Human Zoo, whose subtitle was clear that it dealt with an answer to Martin Heidegger s text Letter on Humanism, basically showing that civility is necessarily bound to human domestication. So, the present work is split in three chapters. The first one aims to set the cultural and metaphysical bases of humanism. The second one will adopt an approach about what we will call epistolary humanism and its corollaries. Besides, in the third chapter, we will compose theoretical statements to the Heideggerian criticism against humanism and the post humanist contemporary proposition, as well as about the anthropotechnics. We can state that these two elements are considered as anthropological fundamentals of humanism and post humanism, and by understanding their mentioned historical relationship from their biological and ontological assumptions. Therefore, this work, which has been presented here, when it tries to map humanism under the theoretical influence of Sloterdijk, it distinguishes itself precisely by realizing the coherence with which he aims at diagnosing the directions of the contemporary humanism / O labor aqui apresentado parte do princ?pio de que o termo humanismo ? usado hodiernamente para salvaguardar certos comportamentos ou formas de agir constitu?das h? mais de 2500 anos, sobretudo no que tange aos valores humanos mais b?sicos, os quais s?o axiomaticamente validados, sem quaisquer contesta??es. O humanismo ? visto continuamente como pedra de toque da civilidade. Destarte, em 1999, o fil?sofo Peter Sloterdijk apresentou uma confer?ncia na Baviera, intitulada Regras para o Parque Humano, cujo subt?tulo deixava claro que se tratava de uma resposta ao texto de Martin Heidegger, Carta sobre o Humanismo, basicamente mostrando que a civilidade est? estritamente vinculada ? domestica??o humana. Nestes termos, o presente trabalho ? dividido em tr?s cap?tulos. No primeiro, pretende estabelecer os fundamentos culturais e metaf?sicos do humanismo. No segundo cap?tulo, far? uma abordagem sobre aquilo que chamaremos de humanismo epistolar e seus corol?rios. Por fim, no terceiro cap?tulo, teceremos asser??es te?ricas ? cr?tica heideggeriana ao humanismo e ? proposta p?s-humanista contempor?nea; assim como a respeito da rela??o entre converg?ncia midi?tica e antropot?cnicas, esses dois elementos tomados como fundamentos antropol?gicos do humanismo e do p?s-humanismo e entendendo a citada rela??o historicamente, a partir de seus pressupostos biol?gicos e ontol?gicos. Portanto, o trabalho aqui apresentado, ao tentar mapear o humanismo sob a influ?ncia te?rica de Sloterdijk, distingue-se precisamente por conseguir perceber a coer?ncia com que ele pretende diagnosticar os rumos do humanismo contempor?neo
