Our Posthuman Future

Francis Fukuyama First published 2002

About this book

"In 1989, Francis Fukuyama made his now-famous pronouncement that because the major alternatives to liberal democracy had exhausted themselves, history as we knew it had reached its end. Ten years later, he revised his argument: we hadn't reached the end of history, he wrote, because we hadn't yet reached the end of science. Arguing that the greatest advances still to come will be in the life sciences, Fukuyama now asks how the ability to modify human behavior will affect liberal democracy.".

"In Our Posthuman Future, our greatest social philosopher describes the potential effects of our exploration on the foundation of liberal democracy: the belief that human beings are equal by nature."--BOOK JACKET.
