Nietzsche ’ s Overhuman is an Ideal Whereas Posthumans Will be Real
نویسنده
چکیده
Sorgner recently wrote in this journal that Nietzsche’s overhuman and the posthuman envisioned by transhumanists are similar at a fundamental level. However, the overhuman is an ideal limit of human progress that can never be reached, whereas posthumans will be a reality, the next stages in human progress. Some transhumanists are concerned that human improvement technologies will create radical inequality. Hobbes’s prescription for a social contract to bring stability and security to human society makes him more a useful antecedent than Nietzsche for those transhumanists.

Characterization and axiomatization of all semigroups whose square is group
In this paper we give a characterization for all semigroups whose square is a group. Moreover, we axiomatize such semigroups and study some relations between the class of these semigroups and Grouplikes,introduced by the author. Also, we observe that this paper characterizes and axiomatizes a class of Homogroups (semigroups containing an ideal subgroup). Finally, several equivalent conditions ...
متن کاملRegular ordered semigroups and intra-regular ordered semigroups in terms of fuzzy subsets
Let $S$ be an ordered semigroup. A fuzzy subset of $S$ is anarbitrary mapping from $S$ into $[0,1]$, where $[0,1]$ is theusual interval of real numbers. In this paper, the concept of fuzzygeneralized bi-ideals of an ordered semigroup $S$ is introduced.Regular ordered semigroups are characterized by means of fuzzy leftideals, fuzzy right ideals and fuzzy (generalized) bi-ideals.Finally, two m...
متن کاملTHE INTERNAL IDEAL LATTICE IN THE TOPOS OF M-SETS
We believe that the study of the notions of universal algebra modelled in an arbitarry topos rather than in the category of sets provides a deeper understanding of the real features of the algebraic notions. [2], [3], [4], [S], [6], [7], [13], [14] are some examples of this approach. The lattice Id(L) of ideals of a lattice L (in the category of sets) is an important ingredient of the categ...
متن کاملINTERSECTION OF ESSENTIAL IDEALS IN THE RING OF REAL-VALUED CONTINUOUS FUNCTIONS ON A FRAME
A frame $L$ is called {it coz-dense} if $Sigma_{coz(alpha)}=emptyset$ implies $alpha=mathbf 0$. Let $mathcal RL$ be the ring of real-valued continuous functions on a coz-dense and completely regular frame $L$. We present a description of the socle of the ring $mathcal RL$ based on minimal ideals of $mathcal RL$ and zero sets in pointfree topology. We show that socle of $mathcal RL$ is an essent...
متن کاملAristotle’s Magnanimity and Nietzsche’s Nobility
At first glance, a comparison between Nietzsche and Aristotle may seem improbable. If Nietzsche is indeed a moral relativist, as is often suggested, why is Nietzsche concerned with the development of human character? There are explicit instances of Nietzsche assessing the positive and negative, beneficial and injurious, traits of human character. In “What is Noble” of Beyond Good and Evil, Niet...
