Mythologies of Transhumanism
Hauskeller, Michael.

Mythologies of Transhumanism[electronic resource] /by Michael Hauskeller. - 1st ed. 2016. - XI, 225 p.online resource.

Introduction -- 1. Dreams of a Better World -- 2. Stories of Human Nature -- 3. The Twofold Nature of the Transhumanist Human -- 4. The Bioconservative Human -- 5. The Disease of Being Human -- 6. Messy Bodies -- 7. Is Nature Unfair? -- 8. Love Enhancement -- 9. Moral Enhancement -- 10. Animal Enhancement -- Conclusion -- Literature -- Index.

This book examines the dependence of transhumanist arguments on the credibility of the narratives of meaning in which they are embedded. By taking the key ideas from transhumanist philosophy – the desirability of human self-design and immortality, the elimination of all suffering and the expansion of human autonomy – Michael Hauskeller explores these narratives and the understanding of human nature that informs them. Particular attention is paid to the theory of transhumanism as a form of utopia, stories of human nature, the increasing integration of the radical human enhancement project into the cultural mainstream, and the drive to upgrade from flesh to machine. .
