The Perennial Human and Beyond -- Chapter 5. Beyond the Empirical Agent -- Chapter 6. Transcending the Human. . 330 $aThis book looks to the rich and varied Islamic tradition for insights into what it means to be human and, by implication, what this can tell us about the future human. The transhumanist movement, in its more radical expression, sees Homo sapiens as the cousin, perhaps the poorer cousin, of a new Humanity 2.0: ?Man? is replaced by ?Superman?. The contribution that Islam can make to this movement concerns the central question of what this ?Superman? ? or ?Supermuslim? ? would actually entail. To look at what Islam can contribute we need not restrict ourselves to the Qur?an and the legal tradition, but also reach out to its philosophical and literary corpus. Roy Jackson focuses on such contributions from Muslim philosophy, science, and literature to see how Islam can confront and respond to the challenges raised by the growing movement of transhumanism. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in the Future of Humanity and its Successors 606 $aIslam?Doctrines 606 $aPhilosophy 606 $aMiddle Eastern literature 606 $aIslamic Theology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1A5010 606 $aPhilosophy of Man$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E28000 606 $aMiddle Eastern Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/835000 615 0$aIslam?Doctrines. 615 0$aPhilosophy. 615 0$aMiddle Eastern literature. 615 14$aIslamic Theology. 615 24$aPhilosophy of Man. 615 24$aMiddle Eastern Literature. 676 $a297 676 $a297.01 700 $aJackson$b Roy$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0556000 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910380739503321 996 $aMuslim and Supermuslim$91921366 997 $aUNINA
