This book asks whether there exists an essence exclusive to human
beings despite their continuous enhancement - a nature that can
serve to distinguish humans from artificially intelligent robots,
now and in the foreseeable future. Considering what might qualify
as such an essence, this volume demonstrates that the abstract
question of 'essentialism' underpins a range of social issues that
are too often considered in isolation and usually justify
'robophobia', rather than 'robophilia', in terms of morality,
social relations and legal rights. Any defence of human
exceptionalism requires clarity about what property(ies) ground it
and an explanation of why these cannot be envisaged as being
acquired (eventually) by AI robots. As such, an examination of the
conceptual clarity of human essentialism and the role it plays in
our thinking about dignity, citizenship, civil rights and moral
worth is undertaken in this volume. What is Essential to Being
Human? will appeal to scholars of social theory and philosophy with
interests in human nature, ethics and artificial intelligence.
