摘要:This essay gives a brief overview of Transhumanism and explores a few of its central ideas in the light of Polanyi’s
views about embodiment, Marxism, and reality’s hierarchal order, concluding that although Polanyi would
likely appreciate the possibilities of cyborgic augmentation that feature in the Transhumanist route to the
posthuman, he would utterly repudiate its metaphysics of disembodied intelligence and its underlying
technological determinism.
