The post-modern human, and the future human.

Shakespeare may have "invented the human", and the past writers and humanists may have been dealing with, and expressing towards the humans of their time.
But do you truly believe all the great writers and philosophers of the past would have expected what the human is today? Do you think the humanity they are dealing with is the same humanity in the now?
I sometimes get the sad, hollow feeling that when I read something like Dostrovesky or any other great author that deals with the human and the human spirit. It's the feeling that the humans they were writing for no longer exist in today's times, or at least we as a species are going through a spiritual transition towards the future state of humanity and we are the generation caught between two eras. Yearning to connect with the past but not yet fully understanding who we are going to be in the future.
Do you believe that the literature of the past still deals with the humanity of today? I believe that the threads that relate us spiritually and humanly to the past are being cut every year. I mean just look at places like China. It seems like Humanity are slowly losing their souls.

no you retard, his timelesness is exactly why he's so praised

Ok, this wankery is getting out of control now. Have you people at least read, like, Chaucer or, God forbid, Plautus? This meme has to stop.

every generation turns its back on bits of 'humanity' for the sake of new ones
the only important point is that the new ones should be 'better' than the old ones

only plebs disagree with the FACT that Shakespeare INVENTED the goddamn human. Chaucer did not quite have the sophistication to do so, and Plautus most certainly didn't.
why do you disagree so vehemently though? it is not like this is somehow a toxic idea. however, if you'd like to demonstrate how Harold Bloom is incorrect, then please, go ahead.
