Introduction: What is Humanity 2.0?� -- Humanity Poised Between Biology and Ideology� -- Defining the Human: The Always Ready - Or Never To Be - Object of the Social Sciences?� -- A Policy Blueprint for Humanity 2.0: The Converging Technologies Agenda� -- A Theology 2.0 for Humanity 2.0: Thinking Outside the Neo-Darwinian Box� -- Conclusion: In Search of Humanity 2.0's Moral Horizon - Or, How to Suffer Smart in the 21st Century -- � -- � -- � -- � -- �.

Social thinkers in all fields are faced with one unavoidable question: what does it mean to be 'human' in the 21st century? As definitions between what is 'animal' and what is 'human' break down, and asemerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and nano- and bio- technologies develop, accepted notions of humanity are rapidly evolving. Humanity 2.0is an ambitious and groundbreaking book,offering a sweeping overview of key historical, philosophical and theological moments that have shaped our understandings of humanity. Tackling head on the twin taboos that have always hovered over the scientific study of humanity - race and religion - Steve Fuller argues thar far from disappearing, they are being reinvented. Fuller argues thatthese new developmentswill force us to decide which features of our current way of life - not least our bodies - are truly needed to remain human, and concludes with a consideration of these changes for ethical and social values more broadly.
