Posthuman Transformation in Ancient Mediterranean Thought

This book explores the ancient concepts of self-enhancement through ethical practices of self-realization, focusing on the ideas of 'angelification' and 'daimonification' as spiritual transformations. Spanning a range of historical thinkers from Hesiod to Christian gnostics, it examines how these notions relate to modern ideas of transhumanist enhancement, emphasizing moral improvement alongside physical or technological upgrades.
