Paperback. Condition: New. Transhumanism is widely misunderstood, in part because the media have exaggerated current technologies and branded the movement as dangerous, leading many to believe that hybrid humans may soon walk among us and that immortality, achieved by means of mind-uploading, is imminent. In this essential and clarifying volume, Stefan Lorenz Sorgner debunks widespread myths about transhumanism and tackles the most pressing ethical issues in the debate over technologically assisted human enhancement.On Transhumanism is a vital primer on the subject, written by a world-renowned expert. In this book, Sorgner presents an overview of the movement's history, capably summarizing the twelve pillars of transhumanist discourse and explaining the great diversity of transhumanist responses to each individual topic. He highlights the urgent ethical challenges related to the latest technological developments, inventions, and innovations and compares the unique cultural standing of transhumanism to other cultural movements, placing it within the broader context of the Enlightenment, modernity, postmodernity, and the philosophical writings of Nietzsche. Engagingly written and translated and featuring an introduction for North American readers, this comprehensive overview of the cultural and philosophical movement of transhumanism will be required reading for students of posthumanist philosophy and for general audiences interested in learning about the transhumanist movement.

Paperback. Condition: New. The concept of transhumanism emerged in the middle of the 20th century, and has influenced discussions around AI, brain-computer interfaces, genetic technologies and life extension. Despite its enduring influence in the public imagination, a fully developed philosophy of transhumanism has not yet been presented. In this new book, leading philosopher Stefan Lorenz Sorgner explores the critical issues that link transhumanism with digitalization, gene technologies and ethics. He examines the history and meaning of transhumanism and asks bold questions about human perfection, cyborgs, genetically enhanced entities, and uploaded minds. Offering insightful reflections on values, norms and utopia, this will be an important guide for readers interested in contemporary digital culture, gene ethics, and policy making.

Softcover. Condition: Fine. Abnutzung / Risse - leicht. Der Transhumanismus verfolgt das Ziel, die Grenzen der menschlichen Natur zu überschreiten - körperlich wie geistig. Durch den Einsatz verschiedener Technologien sollen die Leistungsfähigkeit erhöht, verlorene Fähigkeiten ersetzt oder gar neue erfunden werden. Aber ist diese Erweiterung des Menschen tatsächlich eine Verbesserung oder nicht viel eher eine Abkehr vom gerade Menschlichen und als solche eine Hinwendung zur Maschine? Während Stefan Lorenz Sorgner davon überzeugt ist, dass in dieser Überschreitung die Chance einer besseren Welt und einer gesteigerten Lebensqualität liegt, warnt Philipp von Becker vor den Gefahren eines technologiegetriebenen Transhumanismus als letzte Erfüllung eines sinnentleerten, autoritären Kapitalismus, der Überwachung und Entmenschlichung auf die Spitze treibt.
