Posthuman affirmative ethics relies upon a fluid, nomadic conception of the ethical subject who develops affective, material and immaterial connections to multiple others. Our purpose in this paper is to consider what posthuman affirmative business ethics would look like, and to reflect on the shift in thinking and practice this would involve. The need for a revised understanding of human–animal relations in business ethics is amplified by crises such as climate change and pandemics that are related to ecologically destructive business practices such as factory farming. In this analysis, we use feminist speculative fiction as a resource for reimagination and posthuman ethical thinking. By focusing on three ethical movements experienced by a central character named Toby in Margaret Atwood’s MaddAddam trilogy, we show how she is continually becoming through affective, embodied encounters with human and nonhuman others. In the discussion, we consider the vulnerability that arises from openness to affect which engenders heightened response-ability to and with, rather than for, multiple others. This expanded concept of subjectivity enables a more relational understanding of equality that is urgently needed in order to respond affirmatively to posthuman futures.

后人类的肯定伦理依赖于一种流动的、游牧式的伦理主体概念，伦理主体发展了与多个其他人的情感、物质和非物质联系。我们在本文中的目的是考虑后人类肯定的商业道德会是什么样子，并反思这将涉及到思维和实践的转变。气候变化和与工厂化养殖等生态破坏性商业行为相关的流行病等危机加剧了对商业道德中人与动物关系的修订理解的需求。在这个分析中，我们使用女权主义思辨小说作为重新想象和后人类伦理思考的资源。通过关注玛格丽特·阿特伍德的《疯狂的亚当》中一个名叫托比的中心人物所经历的三个道德运动三部曲中，我们展示了她如何通过与人类和非人类他人的情感、具体化的相遇不断地成为。在讨论中，我们考虑了对影响的开放性所产生的脆弱性，这种脆弱性会提高对多个其他人的反应能力，而不是对其他人的反应能力。这种扩展的主观性概念使人们能够对平等进行更加相关的理解，这是对后人类未来做出肯定回应所迫切需要的。
