Manuel Sanlés Presents “Transhumanism in 100 Questions” in Ares
Philosophy and Technology in the 21st Century
This Friday, January 12, at 7:30 PM, the Alianza Aresana will host a thought-provoking discussion on transhumanism, a movement that envisions redesigning human capabilities through technology. The event will feature the presentation of the book “Transhumanism in 100 Questions” by philosopher and president of the Spanish Society of Philosophy Teachers, Manuel Sanlés Olivares.
The book delves into fundamental questions about humanity’s future:
- Can we enhance our physical, psychological, and intellectual abilities through technology?
- How should we interact with increasingly autonomous artificial intelligences?
Structure and Content of the Book
Published by Nowtilus, the book follows a question-and-answer format, with 100 chapters tackling philosophical, ethical, and social issues. It begins with a quote from Rosi Braidotti, a renowned Italo-Australian feminist theorist, and takes a highly accessible approach to engage a broad audience.
The book not only addresses technological challenges but also explores their implications in social, economic, and political contexts, offering tools to reflect on the ethics of transhumanism.
Philosophical Dialogue in Ares
During the event, Manuel Sanlés will engage in a conversation with Alma Barrón, Councilor for Culture, sharing insights and encouraging debate among attendees. This discussion aims to deepen understanding and analysis of the changes technology could bring to humanity.
