My philosophy professor told us all to go research Transhumanism, figure out what it is, and define 3 main themes in this philosophy. This is going to be a short entry (mostly because I have 3 more to do tonight) for the main themes can be found simply by looking at the definition.
According to Max More, author of The Modern Philosophy of Transhumanism, Transhumanism can be defined as a class of philosophies of life that seek the continuation and acceleration of the evolution of intelligent life beyond its currently human form and human limitations by means of science and technology, guided by life- promoting principles and values.
To define this in my own words I would have to say it's the idea that we must develop science and technology and use them towards our betterment.
Here are the 3 main themes in my eyes:
1. Humans have limitations in their current state.
2. The development of science and technology are our main tools in overcoming human limitations.
3. The acceleration and growth of intelligent life will take us beyond merely being human as we know it today.
