Название: Posthuman Bliss?: The Failed Promise of Transhumanism ISBN: 0190051493 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780190051495 Издательство: Oxford Academ Рейтинг: Цена: 94640.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: 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.

Описание: This essay collection deals with the question of whether Nietzsche can be seen as a precursor of transhumanism or not. Debates on the topic have existed for some years, particularly in the Journal of Evolution and Technology and The Agonist. This book combines existing papers, from these journals, with new material, to highlight some of the important issues surrounding this argument. The collection addresses a variety of issues to show whether or not there is a close connection between transhumanist concerns for progress and technology and Nietzsche’s ideas.

Who are we? Are we our DNA or is it all in the brain? Are we our conscious minds, an unconscious one or both? What is the real nature of consciousness or the root cause of racism? Do we have free will? Are we our emotions and do egos actually exist? What does neuroscience really say about us? Are we mere actors in a giant computer simulation? Will we ever upload our minds or memories? And will transhumanism eventually cure all disease and solve the problem of our mortality?
Beyond Machine Man is an exhilarating exploration of ourselves, a witty analysis of state of the art science, a detailed discussion of the inherent flaws in Machine Man philosophy, a deep look into the promises of transhumanism, and ultimately, the possibility of living a happier life beyond fear. It all starts with the amazing tale of Paul Schmitz, a most unfortunate racist...

Описание: As a movement, transhumanism aims to upgrade the human body through science, constantly pushing back the limits of a person by using cutting-edge technologies to fix the human body and upgrade it beyond its natural abilities. Transhumanism can not only change human habits, but it can also change learning practices. By improving human learning, it improves the human organism beyond natural and biological limits. The Handbook of Research on Learning in the Age of Transhumanism is an essential research publication that discusses global values, norms, and ethics that relate to the diverse needs of learners in the digital world and addresses future priorities and needs for transhumanism. The book will identify and scrutinize the needs of learners in the age of transhumanism and examine best practices for transhumanist leaders in learning. Featuring topics such as cybernetics, pedagogy, and sociology, this book is ideal for educators, trainers, instructional designers, curriculum developers, professionals, researchers, academicians, policymakers, and librarians.
Автор: Manzocco, Roberto Название: Transhumanism - engineering the human condition ISBN: 3030049566 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783030049560 Издательство: Springer Рейтинг: Цена: 32600.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: This book is designed to offer a comprehensive high-level introduction to transhumanism, an international political and cultural movement that aims to produce a “paradigm shift” in our ethical and political understanding of human evolution. Transhumanist thinkers want the human species to take the course of evolution into its own hands, using advanced technologies currently under development – such as robotics, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, cognitive neurosciences, and nanotechnology – to overcome our present physical and mental limitations, improve our intelligence beyond the current maximum achievable level, acquire skills that are currently the preserve of other species, abolish involuntary aging and death, and ultimately achieve a post-human level of existence. The book covers transhumanism from a historical, philosophical, and scientific viewpoint, tracing its cultural roots, discussing the main philosophical, epistemological, and ethical issues, and reviewing the state of the art in scientific research on the topics of most interest to transhumanists. The writing style is clear and accessible for the general reader, but the book will also appeal to graduate and undergraduate students.

Описание: ""The goal of this opus is to overthrow the status quo and the contemporary society we live in, to establish anew. To destroy all cultures, subcultures, ethics, morals and ways of living. Gathering the elite individuals from all over the globe as a collective, to establish the new race: Homo Galactica. Creating the superman and the super race via technology, biotechnology and nanotechnology. Using transhumanism and synthetic biology to preserve this ideal specimen as the next stage of human evolution; to eventually transcend earth as a whole and to conquer the entire Milky Way. Conquering other planets, building new civilizations, so that mankind becomes the apex predator of all life & existence. Denying our extinction "" - Leon Freire

Описание: The concept of transhumanism emerged in the middle of the twentieth 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 been presented yet. In this new book, leading philosopher Stefan Lorenz Sorgner explores the critical issues that link transhumanism with digitalisation, 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.

Автор: Fillard Jean-pierre Название: Transhumanism: A Realistic Future? ISBN: 9811211388 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789811211386 Издательство: World Scientific Publishing Рейтинг: Цена: 73920.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание:
Transhuman, or trans-human, is the concept of an intermediary form between human and posthuman. In other words, a transhuman is a being that resembles a human in most respects but who has powers and abilities beyond those of standard humans. These abilities might include improved intelligence, awareness, strength, or durability. Transhumans sometimes appear in science-fiction as cyborgs or genetically-enhanced humans.
This book will look into the question "Can machines think?" followed by "Can humans extend their lifespan and keep up with machines?" In other words, do we (humans) have to modify ourselves to be bionic humans, to co-exist and make the most of machines in future?
