This is a concise, reader-friendly introduction to a vitally important philosophy that will become difficult to ignore as advances in biotechnology increasingly claim the headlines in the coming decades. No Marketing Blurb The debate about the ethics of human biotechnology or genetic engineering is one of the most important cultural issues of our time.
In Designer Evolution, Simon Young presents a polemical espousal of transhumanist philosophy and a trenchant attack on its critics, the 'Bio-Luddites'. The author calls for a rejection of premodern superstition and post-modern nihilism in favour of a renewed belief in human progress through scientific rationality.
Reviews "Young rejects premodern superstition and postmodern nihilism, calling for a renewed belief in human progress through scientific rationality Written in a breezy, populist, quotable style, this reader-friendly introduction to a vitally important philosophy will be difficult to ignore as advances in biotechnology increasingly claim the headlines in the years ahead.
