About this book
Essay from the year 2024 in the subject Philosophy - Miscellaneous, grade: 1.3, University of Cambridge, course: Re:Think Competition 2024, language: English, abstract: Should humanity extend its reach into becoming everything it wished for? Creating a utopian individual in each of us, such that we become all-knowingly and immortal? Should we be allowed to think about such a scenario, and what implications could such a shift in the view of Homo Sapiens be?
This Essay will explore the ethical implications of letting humans achieve a godlike status (Homo Deus) and become all-knowing and immortal. The Essay will mainly concentrate on the concepts of Homo Sapiens, Homo Deus, and the Übermensch, and how a new society will need to be built to let humans achieve a godlike status.
