描述 | .This book examines the dependence of transhumanist argumentson the credibility of the narratives of meaning in which they are embedded. Bytaking the key ideas from transhumanist philosophy – the desirability of humanself-design and immortality, the elimination of all suffering and theexpansion of human autonomy – Michael Hauskeller explores these narratives andthe understanding of human nature that informs them. Particular attention ispaid to the theory of transhumanism as a form of utopia, stories of human nature,the increasing integration of the radical human enhancement project into thecultural mainstream, and the drive to upgrade from flesh to machine. . |
