On Trans-Humanism Stefan Lorenz Sorgner, trans. Spencer Hawkins (2020) US$30 paperback, 132pp., Pennsylvania State University Press, University Park PA, ISBN: 9780271087924

What to do with transhumanism? And – before we figure out how to categorize it, think about it and make actionable policy decisions with it – how should we define transhumanism? Stefan Lorenz Sorgner asks these questions in On Trans-humanism when he examines the idea’s provenance and the pedigree of related ideas. This approach turns out to be, on balance, a productive and useful way into a field that does not yet examine its own roots and relationships often enough.
