This collection vigorously addresses the religious implications of
extreme human enhancement technology. Topics covered include
cutting edge themes, such as moral enhancement, common ground to
both transhumanism and religion, the meaning of death, desire and
transcendence, and virtue ethics. Radical enhancement programs,
advocated by transhumanists, could arguably have a more profound
impact than any other development in human history. Reflecting a
range of opinion about the desirability of extreme enhancement,
leading scholars in the field join with emerging scholars to foster
enhanced conversation on these topics.

Probably no writer has so profoundly influenced American philosophy
and literature, as did Emerson. Known as The Father of
Transcendentalism, he was the focal point of a small group of
intellectuals reacting against the orthodoxy of the established
religions of his era. As an active lecturer in the early 1830s, he
delivered a number of landmark lectures, most notably among them -
Compensation and Self-Reliance, in which Emerson fervently declares
man's inherent divinity. By positing that the way to realization
lay solely within, man can be fulfilled only through one's own
"self-induced and self-devised efforts."Marked by a deep compassion
and insight, Compensation and Self-Reliance rings like a
clarion-call - one Emerson intoned steadily throughout his life.
Though his last years were marked by a decline in his mental
powers, his reputation as one of the outstanding figures of
American letters was all but assured by the time of his death.RALPH
WALDO EMERSON (1803-1882) was an American poet and essayist.
Universally known as the "Sage of Concord," Emerson established
himself as a leading spokesman of transcendentalism and as a major
figure in American literature. His additional works include a
series of lectures published as Representative Men (1850), The
Conduct of Life (1860), and Society and Solitude (1870).
