Social thinkers in all fields are faced with one unavoidable
question: what does it mean to be 'human' in the 21st century? As
definitions between what is "animal" and what is "human" break
down, and as emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence
and nano- and bio- technologies develop, accepted notions of
humanity are rapidly evolving.
"Humanity 2.0" is an ambitious and groundbreaking book, offering a
sweeping overview of key historical, philosophical and theological
moments that have shaped our understandings of humanity. Tackling
head on the twin taboos that have always hovered over the
scientific study of humanity -- race and religion -- Steve Fuller
argues thar far from disappearing, they are being reinvented.
Fuller argues that these new developments will force us to decide
which features of our current way of life -- not least our bodies
-- are truly needed to remain human, and concludes with a
consideration of these changes for ethical and social values more
broadly.
