Presentation: The Transhuman Society and Its Enemies Here, we'll try to understand transhumanism from a cultural point of view. Transhumanism is not a unique, coherent philosophy, born already armed from the head of a philosopher. It would be more exact to imagine an network of concepts, emerging from the global cultural soup. Each of these concepts possess its own niche in our cultural ecology, competing with some ideas, collaborating with others. When we analyze something like transhumanism (but this is true for any other modern cultural movement) we should be careful to avoid easy categorizations, making monolithic things of much more tenous network of connections, inventing well-defined "allies" and "enemies" where there is in fact a complex system of activations and inhibitions. |
