Blurring the Boundaries -- Chapter 2. Secular Transhumansim as Scientism? -- Chapter 3. The reification of Islam and the rise of tele-techno-scientific reason -- Chapter 4. The Perennial Human and Beyond -- Chapter 5. Beyond the Empirical Agent -- Chapter 6. Transcending the Human. .This book looks to the rich and varied Islamic tradition for insights into what it means to be human and, by implication, what this can tell us about the future human. The transhumanist movement, in its more radical expression, sees Homo sapiens as the cousin, perhaps the poorer cousin, of a new Humanity 2.0: ‘Man’ is replaced by ‘Superman’. The contribution that Islam can make to this movement concerns the central question of what this ‘Superman’ – or ‘Supermuslim’ – would actually entail. To look at what Islam can contribute we need not restrict ourselves to the Qur’an and the legal tradition, but also reach out to its philosophical and literary corpus. Roy Jackson focuses on such contributions from Muslim philosophy, science, and literature to see how Islam can confront and respond to the challenges raised by the growing movement of transhumanism.Palgrave Studies in the Future of Humanity and its SuccessorsIslam—DoctrinesPhilosophyMiddle Eastern literatureIslamic Theologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1A5010Philosophy of Manhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E28000Middle Eastern Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/835000Islam—Doctrines.Philosophy.Middle Eastern literature.Islamic Theology.Philosophy of Man.Middle Eastern Literature.297297.01Jackson Royauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut556000MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910380739503321Muslim and Supermuslim1921366UNINA
