ABOUT THE SERIES

Transhumanism, as both a philosophical worldview and a socio-technical movement, envisions the use of advanced technology to transcend biological limitations and reimagine the human condition. As this vision increasingly moves from theory to reality, law stands at a crossroads: it must contend with unprecedented questions about personhood, rights, and justice for which it was never designed, while simultaneously shaping the very contours of our posthuman future.

The book series, Law and Transhumanism, serves as an academic platform for rigorous, critical, and imaginative engagement with the legal, ethical, and regulatory implications of transhumanist aspirations and emerging enhancement technologies. It aims to foster dialogue across disciplines—especially between legal studies, philosophy, science and technology studies, and policy analysis—regarding the complex intersections between legal systems and posthuman futures.

Topics of central interest include, but are not limited to: the legal status and rights of enhanced or artificial beings; legal responses to brain-computer interfaces, AI-driven decision-making, and cognitive enhancement; justice and equality in access to enhancement technologies; legal challenges of longevity and life extension; transhumanist perspectives on bioethics, health law, and human rights; impacts of AI and robotics on law and social justice; and the philosophical and jurisprudential foundations of law in a posthuman era.

Consisting of monographs, edited collections, and conference proceedings, the series enthusiastically welcomes contributions that are grounded in critical legal scholarship while also engaging with broader cultural, ethical, technological, and societal questions.
