Posthuman Bliss?: The Failed Promise of Transhumanism
New York, NY, United States of America: Oxford University Press (2020)
Abstract
Transhumanists would have humanity's creation of posthumanity be our governing aim. Susan B. Levin challenges their overarching commitments regarding the mind, brain, ethics, liberal democracy, knowledge, and reality. Her critique unmasks their notion of humanity's self-transcendence via science and technology as pure, albeit seductive, fantasy.Author's Profile
