摘要

In more recent years, and as was stated in the introduction, transhumanists have been made aware of Huxley. They have not, however, been particularly open to welcoming him into their ranks. Max More claims that he first coined transhumanism in the “modern sense of the term” in 1990. Commenting on Huxley’s transhumanism, More asserted that Huxley “did not develop this evolutionary view into a philosophical position.” Vita-More has called the suggested connection between Huxley and contemporary transhumanism a “misunderstanding” and a “misconception.” She has claimed that Huxley’s transhumanism was about humans needing to create a better environment for themselves. Within academia, MacFarlane has recently suggested that the new transhumanists were the first to use the term transhuman to signify the deliberate transition beyond the human.
