Nietzsche and Transhumanism
Brett Carollo, for The Agonist
A scholarly reassessment of Nietzsche’s influence on the development of transhumanism via a history of ideas approach that also tracks “para-philosophical” vectors of influence. Arguing that Nietzsche was crucial in laying the groundwork for transhumanism, this article tracks the impact of Nietzche’s radical refashioning of the human being as an instantiation of apotheosis. The Nietzschean superman represents the ideal of apotheosis filtered through Nietzsche’s materialism and his processual turn, and it is in this modified, post-Nietzschean form that the ideal passes to transhumanism.
Nietzsche and the Mysticism of Apotheosis
Brett Carollo for Journal for Continental Philosophy of Religion
A paper arguing that Friedrich Nietzsche was a mystic and his post-Gay Science (1882) thought should be understood as an unfolding expression of his mystical experiences. Drawing on Nietzsche’s Nachlass (notes), letters, and published writings, I show that he undoubtedly had at least two major mystical experiences and that these experiences were the source of all the cardinal motifs of his later thought.
