Moving beyond identity politics while continuing to respect diverse
entities and concerns, Whitney A. Bauman builds a planetary
politics that better responds to the realities of a pluralistic
world. Calling attention to the historical, political, and
ecological influences shaping our understanding of nature,
religion, humanity, and identity, Bauman collapses the boundaries
separating male from female, biology from machine, human from more
than human, and religion from science, encouraging readers to
embrace hybridity and the inherent fluctuations of an open,
evolving global community. As he outlines his planetary ethic,
Bauman concurrently develops an environmental ethic of movement
that relies not on place but on the daily connections we make
across the planet. He shows how both identity politics and
environmental ethics fail to realize planetary politics and action,
limited as they are by foundational modes of thought that create
entire worlds out of their own logic. Introducing a
postfoundational vision not rooted in the formal principles of
"nature" or "God" and not based in the idea of human
exceptionalism, Bauman draws on cutting-edge insights from queer,
poststructural, and deconstructive theory and makes a major
contribution to the study of religion, science, politics, and
ecology.

Why do representatives of different religious traditions find the
transhumanist vision of the future not only theologically
compatible but even inspiring? Transhumanism is a global movement
seeking radical human enhancement. The trans in transhumanism marks
the transition from the present stage in human evolution into the
future, namely, post-human existence. Containing chapters written
by adherents to a variety of religious traditions, Religious
Transhumanism and Its Critics provides first-hand testimony to the
value of the transhumanist vision perceived by the religious mind.
In addition, the contributors critique both secular and religious
transhumanism in light of realistic science and commitment to
social justice.
