  1. Superhuman Enhancements via Implants: Beyond the Human Mind.Kevin Warwick - 2020 - Philosophies 5 (3):14.
    In this article, a practical look is taken at some of the possible enhancements for humans through the use of implants, particularly into the brain or nervous system. Some cognitive enhancements may not turn out to be practically useful, whereas others may turn out to be mere steps on the way to the construction of superhumans. The emphasis here is the focus on enhancements that take such recipients beyond the human norm rather than any implantations employed merely for therapy. This (...)

  • Revising Anthropocentrism of Technics in the Light of the 21st Century New Anthropological Models.V. P. Melnyk & U. I. Lushch-Purii - 2022 - Anthropological Measurements of Philosophical Research 21:72-83.
    _Purpose._ To substantiate the definition of technics as the attributive characteristics of a human being and the necessity of its orientation towards human flourishing in the context of new anthropological models of the 21st century. _Theoretical basis._ Correlation between technics, technology and the human essence is examined. The role of technics is traced at different historical stages of human development.

  • (1 other version)Law, Cyborgs, and Technologically Enhanced Brains.Woodrow Barfield & Alexander Williams - 2017 - Philosophies 2 (1):4.
    As we become more and more enhanced with cyborg technology, significant issues of law and policy are raised. For example, as cyborg devices implanted within the body create a class of people with enhanced motor and computational abilities, how should the law and policy respond when the abilities of such people surpass those of the general population? And what basic human and legal rights should be afforded to people equipped with cyborg technology as they become more machine and less biology? (...)

  • (1 other version)Cyborgs and Enhancement Technology.Woodrow Barfield & Alexander Williams - 2017 - Philosophies 2 (1):4.
    As we move deeper into the twenty-first century there is a major trend to enhance the body with “cyborg technology”. In fact, due to medical necessity, there are currently millions of people worldwide equipped with prosthetic devices to restore lost functions, and there is a growing DIY movement to self-enhance the body to create new senses or to enhance current senses to “beyond normal” levels of performance. From prosthetic limbs, artificial heart pacers and defibrillators, implants creating brain–computer interfaces, cochlear implants, (...)
