The Becoming of Human Possibility — Conclusion Toward a Reflexive Human Becoming

Across this series, we have traced the arc of human possibility — not as a fixed capacity, but as an unfolding horizon shaped by relation, constraint, and reflexivity.
  • Possibility emerges from the tension between collective and individual, where each construal of potential is perspectival, situated, and contingent.

  • Across history, shifts in symbolic architectures — from myth to science, from divine order to digital mediation — have recomposed the very horizons of what it means to be human.

  • Structures of possibility operate through axes, boundaries, and orientations that guide becoming while leaving open spaces of invention and divergence.

  • Today, ecological crisis, technological acceleration, and global entanglement demand a renewed attentiveness to how possibility is conditioned and distributed.

To speak of “the becoming of human possibility” is not to map an essence or destiny. It is to acknowledge that humanity is cosmogenic in its own right: we participate in weaving worlds, and in doing so, we continually renegotiate what counts as possible, impossible, and necessary.

A reflexive stance does not offer closure. It insists on keeping possibility open — on recognising that every cosmos of meaning, every symbolic order, every horizon of action, is both a constraint and an invitation.

Human becoming, then, is not a march toward a pre-given end, but the ongoing actualisation of relational potential. To study it is to learn how worlds are made possible — and how, in turn, those worlds shape the possibilities of being human.
