Produktbeschreibung

This volume defends the notion of humankind in the face of artificial intelligence. Responding to anti-humanist challenges to traditional arguments establishing human worth in nature, it defends humanity with the argument that technological 'advances' introduced artificially into some humans do not annul their fundamental human qualities.
