Posts on Humanity's End by Nicholas Agar


Here's an index to all the posts I've written on Nicholas Agar's book Humanity's End. Agar's book is a contribution to the scholarly debate on the merits of human enhancement. It presents a species-relativist argument against radical enhancement and it assesses the views of Ray Kurzweil, Aubrey de Grey, Nick Bostrom and James Hughes.

(More are on the way. I'm determined to make it through the whole thing.)
