This book presents argumentation for an evolutionary continuity
between human persons and cyborg persons, based on the thought of
Joseph Margolis. Relying on concepts of cultural realism and
post-Darwinism, Aleksandra Lukaszewicz Alcaraz redefines the notion
of the person, rather than a human, and discusses the various
issues of human body enhancement and online implants transforming
modes of perception, cognition, and communication. She argues that
new kinds of embodiment should not make acquiring the status of the
person impossible, and different kinds of embodiments may be
accepted socially and culturally. She proposes we consider ethical
problems of agency and responsibility, critically approaching
vitalist posthuman ethics, and rethinking the metaphysical standing
of normativity, to create space for possible cyborgean ethics that
may be executed in an Extended Republic of Humanity.
