Humanity 2.0

Humanity 2.0

Steve Fuller, 2011

Overview

Social thinkers grapple with the definition of 'human' in the 21st century. As distinctions between human and animal blur and technologies like AI, nano-, and bio-technologies advance, our understanding of humanity is rapidly changing. This groundbreaking book provides a comprehensive overview of historical, philosophical, and theological milestones that have shaped our views on humanity. It confronts the often-avoided topics of race and religion, arguing they are being redefined rather than disappearing. The book prompts consideration of which aspects of our current existence, including our bodies, are essential to being human, and examines the broader implications for ethical and social values.
