Imagination and the Form of Life to Come
Imagination and the Form of Life to Come

Summary/Abstract: This is a reflective paper on the future of human life in the context of the finitude of our universe. A teleological approach is recommended and imagination is presumed to be the key to ushering in an advanced form of life that incorporates the advances of the new technological age we have begun to inhabit. The amazing possibilities of the coming posthuman age come with a great risk, however: we may be following seductive techno-visions that will bring an end to human life long before its natural demise. Reflecting on life along these lines leads one to a local and pragmatic perspective on human achievement and a more generalized understanding of consciousness.
