The volume is organized into four parts concerning philosophical, military, technological and sociological aspects of transhumanism, but the reader is free to choose various reading patterns. Topics discussed include gene editing, the singularity, ethical machines, metaphors in AI, mind uploading, and the philosophy of art, and some perspectives taken or discussed examine transhumanism within the context of the philosophy of technology, transhumanism as a derailed anthropology, and critical sociological aspects that consider transhumanism in the context of topical concerns such as whiteness, maleness, and masculinity. The book will be of value to researchers engaged with artificial intelligence, and the ethical, societal, and philosophical impacts of science and technology. 410 0$aCognitive technologies. 606 $aTranshumanism 606 $aTechnology$xPhilosophy 606 $aArtificial intelligence 615 0$aTranshumanism. 615 0$aTechnology$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aArtificial intelligence. 676 $a144 702 $aHofkirchner$b Wolfgang 702 $aKreowski$b H.-J$g(Hans-Jörg), 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484242203321 996 $aTranshumanism$92814851 997 $aUNINA
