Artificial Intelligence
In this paper I cover humanism, transhumanism and post-humanism. We are at a crossroad, whereby technology maybe redefining what it means to be human. For example, humans have not evolved much physically since the last 500,000 years. Yes, it is true that physical characteristics have changed, e.g., height and bone density; but these changes are minuscule compared to the radical changes waiting for us. We are now experiencing radical augmentations that eliminates physical defects. Such augmentation in prosthetics, hearing aids, and advances in augmented sight are beginning to be more common.
The philosophy of humanism is explored through the lens of modernism, relativism, and post-relativism. Philosophy has evolved and has affected our social constructs. By realizing that post-relativism represents a global consciousness we can deduce that larger patterns of social behavior are emerging, whereby the position that one holds may not be fully valid. This post-relativism explains ecological imbalance due to self-determination and the systemic risks that buildup throughout society, even if those social contracts seemed at the face-of-it beneficial. For example, social programs to help redistribute wealth might actually erode the productivity of the society and its longer sustainability. Transhumanism and post-humanism is explored by reviewing research from Chu and others. Transhumanism is the technological extension of the human body. Post-humanism is when the human form is no longer recognized via the trans-human evolutionary progression; with the possibility of no form at all—pure energy.
