Calvin Mercer – Religious Outlooks on Transhumanism and Enhancement
Episode 10:
Calvin Mercer is a religious studies professor who has written numerous books and articles over the last decade on the implications of transhumanism and human enhancement, and how they pertain to religious affairs.
In this episode, we ask Calvin about the way religion will change and respond to developing technologies and how we should evaluate them. We also learn about a field called developmental psychology and discuss its relation to common rites of passage.
We are also happy to share Calvin’s latest book Religion and the Technological Future: An Introduction to Biohacking, Artificial Intelligence, and Transhumanism which was published in 2021 alongside co-author Tracy Trothen.
