Toward a transhumanist politics

The central transhumanist idea of self-directed evolution can be coupled with different political, philosophical and religious opinions.

In order to remedy this inconvenience I have produced a document – the Italian Transhumanist Manifesto – which (at least in my intentions) represents a positive synthesis of different transhumanist tendencies and philosophical propensities. In this article I shall present a few ideas “extracted” from that Manifesto – those concerning politics – hoping to contaminate with these ideas other organizations that are active abroad or internationally.
