Abstract

This article employs the concept of human dignity to assess ethical debates about technology and the human future. In particular, it considers divergent accounts of human dignity adopted by theorists of posthumanity and by religious thinkers critically engaging posthumanity. Looking at human dignity reveals the contested accounts of the person implicated in these debates and in late modern culture more generally. While there is a fundamental anthropological divide, points of contact are identified for pursuing a constructive engagement between posthuman and theological perspectives.
