Produktinformationen zu „Teaching Transhumanism “
Is transhumanism really "the world's most dangerous idea" (Fukuyama 2009)? This volume explores the term "transhumanism" (and "posthumanism"), suggests topics for classroom use (e.g. artificial intelligence, cyborgs, cloning, eternal life, super-intelligence), discusses problems, and sketches teaching scenarios for TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language).
Klappentext zu „Teaching Transhumanism “
Onco-mice and cloned sheep, drones and auto-automobiles, neuro-enhancement and prosthetic therapy: Is transhumanism a "movement that epitomizes the most daring, courageous, imaginative, and idealistic aspirations of humanity" (Ronald Bailey 2004), or rather "the world's most dangerous idea" (Francis Fukuyama 2009)? This volume attempts to elucidate what we understand by the term "transhumanism", what topics and problems we face, what media are suitable for classroom use, what lesson scenarios seem effective, what benefits we may reap, and what challenges we have to cope with when we teach transhumanism in English language classes.
