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. .EthicsBioethicsPhilosophy of mindSelfSocial sciencesPhilosophyMoral Philosophy and Applied EthicsBioethicsPhilosophy of the SelfSocial PhilosophyEthics.Bioethics.Philosophy of mind.Self.Social sciencesPhilosophy.Moral Philosophy and Applied Ethics.Bioethics.Philosophy of the Self.Social Philosophy.170Hauskeller Michaelauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut953332MiFhGGMiFhGGBOOK9910150446403321Mythologies of Transhumanism2528137UNINA
