Produktinformationen zu „The Transhuman World and Its Fears (ePub)“
As technological evolutions continue to gather momentum, there is a strong move by some scientists and philosophers to transform the present human nature that is characterized by the phenomenon of life and death into a superman, where aging and its corresponding end in death would be eliminated, making it possible for the humans to live for untold numbers of years. Artificial Intelligence (AI), Robots and other technological machines will take over the basic duties of a natural human.
This book looks at the features of this envisioned new world, and anticipates that the transhuman world will lack ethics of good living and respect for human life if proper measures are not taken to guide technologists and the technologies' usage. Until this is done, the transhuman world would be worse than the Hobbesian State of Nature where life was said to be brutish, nasty and short.
Since every step of growth goes with its unique kind of fear, the book adopts fearology (the study of fear and its management) in proposing what developing countries should do to be able to fully integrate into this expected world. For the developing countries to secure a leading place in the future world, they must take the studies of science, technology and philosophy seriously. This is why the author suggests the establishment of The Philosophy Academy and The Technology Intervention Institute to launch in unique perspectives on how the technologically-driven world can be instituted without necessarily negating the ethics of mutual living and respect for human life which ought to be the hallmark of every society.
