Beyond Transhumanism
The objective of this article is to conceptualize and evaluate the transhumanist movement by applying a Nietzschean critique to its techno-progressive agenda of human enhancement. The investigation itself is divided into three distinctive, yet methodologically intertwined steps: first, I will present an exegetical approach by circumscribing the discussion concerning the alleged similarities and disparities between the transhumanist notion of tran…
Transhumanism, Human Nature and Culture
The main objective of the article is to present a preliminary contextualization of transhumanism on the basis of some of the classical motifs in social theory. In the first section, I critically refer to the most popular definitions of transhumanism and comment on some of the inherent discrepancies within its own techno-progressive agenda. In the second section, I briefly scrutinize some of the critical reactions against the concept of biotechnol…
Transhumanism and Christianity
Although supporters of transhumanism present their agenda as a secular movement that specifically challenges the basic ontological and ethical premises of Christian metaphysics, there are also techno-progressive thinkers who claim that Christians should endorse a moderate version of biotechnological human enhancement. The main objective of this essay is to scrutinise this claim by outlining the relationship between transhumanism and Christian ant…
Nietzschean Transhumanism
Since the release of Stefan Lorenz Sorgner’s article “Nietzsche, the Overhuman, and the Transhuman” in 2009, the debate on Friedrich Nietzsche’s impact on transhumanism has become a thought-provoking opportunity to discuss many important and controversial issues of the technoprogressive agenda. However, despite the great variety of perspectives and arguments made both for and against this analogy, Sorgner’s main argument that the transhumanist mo…
Schöner neuer Mensch and Übermensch. Plädoyer für einen Nietzscheanischen Transhumanismus
In this review I will analyze Stefan Lorenz Sorgner’s two most recent books, Schöner neuer Mensch and Übermensch. Plädoyer für einen Nietzscheanischen Transhumanismus. I will argue that, as well as presenting the trans- and posthumanist debate in very approachable terms, both of these works aim to reorient the technoprogressive discourse toward the issue of education, an aspect that has been somewhat neglected to date. Sorgner’s objective seems t…
Overcoming Transhumanism
Transhumanism promotes the application of emerging technologies and genetics in order to overcome the physical and cognitive limitations of the human species. In this article, the main question to be considered is the following: is Nietzsche's notion of educational self‐overcoming compatible with the idea of biotechnological self‐enhancement? After presenting some broad characteristics of transhumanist philosophy, the general line of reasoning in…
