Transhumanism
Explores using science and technology to expand human capabilities and address aging, suffering, and biological limits. Its institutional declarations also recognize major risks and support deliberation about how technological change should be governed.
Reference boundary: Not measurable from the ten core axes. Direct enhancement questions are needed; technological optimism does not establish a specific view about genetic or cognitive intervention.
Foundational doctrines
- Human capability expansion
- Technological enhancement
- Biological limits as revisable
Disagreement and variation
Enhancement can deepen unequal access, alter social expectations, or expose people to risks they did not choose. Libertarian, egalitarian, and other transhumanists disagree about ownership, distribution, regulation, and the meaning of a desirable future.
