The Metaphysics of Transhumanism
Eric T. Olson
Abstrak
Transhumanists want to free us from the constraints imposed by our humanity by means of “uploading”: extracting information from the brain, transferring it to a computer, and using it to create a purely electronic person there. That is supposed to move us from our human bodies to computers. This presupposes that a human being could literally move to a computer by a mere transfer of information. The essay questions this metaphysical assumption, then asks whether the procedure might be just as good, as far as our interests go, even if it could not move us to a computer.
