This book looks to the rich and varied Islamic tradition for
insights into what it means to be human and, by implication, what
this can tell us about the future human. The transhumanist
movement, in its more radical expression, sees Homo sapiens as the
cousin, perhaps the poorer cousin, of a new Humanity 2.0: 'Man' is
replaced by 'Superman'. The contribution that Islam can make to
this movement concerns the central question of what this 'Superman'
- or 'Supermuslim' - would actually entail. To look at what Islam
can contribute we need not restrict ourselves to the Qur'an and the
legal tradition, but also reach out to its philosophical and
literary corpus. Roy Jackson focuses on such contributions from
Muslim philosophy, science, and literature to see how Islam can
confront and respond to the challenges raised by the growing
movement of transhumanism.
