Description
Questioning Humanity: Being Human in a Posthuman Age
This thought-provoking book challenges our understanding of what it means to be human in today's world. Drawing on insights from the natural, life and social sciences, Thomas Osborne and Nikolas Rose explore the complex relationships between humans, technology, and the environment.
They examine key debates in posthumanism, human evolution, and the uniqueness of the human mind, as well as the implications of emerging technologies like artificial intelligence. The authors argue that a naturalistic humanism is essential for addressing pressing issues of inequality and injustice.
