By taking the key ideas from transhumanist philosophy - the desirability of human self-design and immortality, the elimination of all suffering and the expansion of human autonomy - Michael Hauskeller explores these narratives and the understanding of human nature that informs them. Particular attention is paid to the theory of transhumanism as a form of utopia, stories of human nature, the increasing integration of the radical human enhancement project into the cultural mainstream, and the drive to upgrade from flesh to machine. 001358210 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001358210 650_0 $$aPhilosophical anthropology. 001358210 650_0 $$aBioethics. 001358210 650_0 $$aMythology. 001358210 650_0 $$aTranshumanism. 001358210 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001358210 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aHauskeller, Michael.$$tMythologies of Transhumanism.$$dCham : Springer International Publishing, ©2016$$z9783319397405 001358210 852__ $$bebk 001358210 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-39741-2$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001358210 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1358210$$pGLOBAL_SET 001358210 980__ $$aBIB 001358210 980__ $$aEBOOK 001358210 982__ $$aEbook 001358210 983__ $$aOnline 001358210 994__ $$a92$$bISE
