Contributing Authors

This book addresses two topics that have been widely criticized in Spanish-language academic circles: transhumanism and the thought of Stefan L. Sorgner. This is the first essay collection by Latin American authors to respond to Sorgner’s original philosophical reflections from his monograph We Have Always Been Cyborgs (2022).

This book addresses two topics that have been widely criticized in Spanish-language academic circles: transhumanism and the thought of Stefan L. Sorgner. If the ‘human nature’ supposedly intrinsic to our being were threatened by the practical application of emerging technologies, one could argue that Sorgner’s weak Nietzschean transhumanism — which denies both the existence of a fixed human nature and a correspondence theory of truth — represents a renewed challenge for Spanish-speaking thinkers: How should one respond to a version of the techno-optimist movement that embraces both alethic nihilism and ethical nihilism? This is the first essay collection by Latin American authors to respond to Sorgner’s original philosophical reflections from his monograph We Have Always Been Cyborgs (2022). As this work demonstrates, engaging with ideas related to these emerging technologies also necessitates a timely philosophical debate.
