Übermensch: Plädoyer für einen Nietzscheanischen Transhumanismus Stefan Lorenz Sorgner

Abstract

With this book, Overhuman: A Plea for a Nietzschean Transhumanism, Stefan Lorenz Sorgner opens up another chapter in the debate on Nietzsche’s relationship to transhumanism. The debate began in the issues of Journal of Evolution & Technology from 2009 to 2010 and  moved on to The Agonist in its Fall 2011 issue, and then these two debates had come together along with new articles by Nietzsche scholars in an anthology, Nietzsche and Transhumanism (edited by the reviewer). In this book, Sorgner covers new territories, addresses new issues, and furthers his case for establishing a connection between transhumanism and Nietzsche’s thought. The book consists of twelve chapters.
