{"product_id":"a-cosmist-manifesto-ben-goertzel-9780984609703","title":"A Cosmist Manifesto: Practical Philosophy for the Posthuman Age","description":"The term Cosmism was introduced by Tsiolokovsky and other Russian Cosmists around 1900. Goertzel's \"Cosmist Manifesto\" gives it new life and a new twist for the 21st century. Cosmism, as Goertzel presents it, is a practical philosophy for the posthuman era. Rooted in Western and Eastern philosophy as well as modern technology and science, it is a way of understanding ourselves and our universe that makes sense now, and will keep on making sense as advanced technology exerts its transformative impact as the future unfolds. Among the many topics considered are AI, nanotechnology, uploading, immortality, psychedelics, meditation, future social structures, psi phenomena, alien and cetacean intelligence and the Singularity. The Cosmist perspective is shown to make plain old common sense of even the wildest future possibilities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ben Goertzel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0984609709\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780984609703\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Humanity+\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/09\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.00w x 0.75d","brand":"Ben Goertzel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43989682356479,"sku":"9780984609703","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e83c6ddb-0425-457d-a81b-ccf411129ddb.jpg?v=1683300858","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-cosmist-manifesto-ben-goertzel-9780984609703","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
