Böcker av Michael Hauskeller

Philosophical conversations on the cornerstones of life.

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.

Michael Hauskeller poses some challenging questions about human enhancement, interrogating the logic behind its processes and examining the justifications behind its criteria. The book provides a rigorous approach to the topic which systematically and consistently explores assumptions about human enhancement and its effects.

Examines public fears about genetic engineering and offers the idea of 'biological integrity' as a principle which can be analyzed to show that seemingly irrational public concerns about genetic engineering are not so irrational after all and that a philosophically sound justification of those concerns can be given.
