This volume analyzes the theoretical underpinnings of the academic transhumanism movement, beginning with the relationship between anthropology and technique. The author focuses on the question of immortality, which can be considered the core of transhumanism. The true depth of immortality will be discussed, through which and how many transformations could be produced in order to change our society, which is basically shaped by and for human mortal beings, in a society composed by immortal persons. Some writers have written about what a future populated with immortals might look like, which is far removed from both the bright future painted by transhumanists and from the disappearance of humanity feared by bioconservatives. 606 $aScience$xSocial aspects 606 $aHuman body$xSocial aspects 606 $aScience$xPhilosophy 606 $aApplied anthropology 606 $aScience and Technology Studies 606 $aSociology of the Body 606 $aPhilosophy of Science 606 $aApplied Anthropology 615 0$aScience$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aHuman body$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aScience$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aApplied anthropology. 615 14$aScience and Technology Studies. 615 24$aSociology of the Body. 615 24$aPhilosophy of Science. 615 24$aApplied Anthropology. 676 $a144 676 $a144 700 $aAdorno$b Francesco Paolo$0447641 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910508481503321 996 $aThe Transhumanist Movement$92842160 997 $aUNINA
