Description

Explore a deep social, political, and aesthetic critique of transhumanism in this volume from the Routledge Studies in Contemporary Philosophy series. This book examines the accelerating growth of scientific knowledge and its impact on the human condition. Rather than serving to improve our daily lives, the text argues that modern science and technology may leave individuals feeling debilitated and infantilized. The author calls for a restraint of the runaway ambitions found in technoscientific knowledge, specifically addressing the transhumanist goal of human enhancement. By analyzing the dangerous social pathologies rooted in the ethos of "more," this work investigates a cultural obsession with excess. It provides a necessary perspective for those studying the intersection of philosophy, technology, and the future of humanity.
