On Sunday, January 25, 2026, the U.S. Transhumanist Party invited Professor Stefan Lorenz Sorgner to discuss his forthcoming book “Euro-Transhumanism” and to continue the conversation on how Euro-Transhumanism can offer potential ways to transcend the political polarization of our era.
The first Virtual Enlightenment Salon with Professor Sorgner concluded with his remarks on how both the MAGA Right and the Cancel-Culture Left are characterized by essentialist attitudes that Euro-Transhumanism rejects. The present discussion continued to explore how Euro-Transhumanism would offer a different approach and would take different attitudes from either of the conventional political factions on prominent cultural “battleground” issues.

The book is described as follows: “What if the future of humanity wasn’t driven by Silicon Valley’s vision?
“At the edge of its dissolution, European humanism faces profound challenges as AI, biotechnology and posthuman theory reshape what it means to be human. The classical ideals of truth, goodness and beauty — once the moral and aesthetic compass of the European tradition — are being twisted.
“This book introduces the reader to Euro-Transhumanism—a distinctive, philosophically rich alternative to the individualistic, technocratic focus of classic transhumanism. It draws upon Europe’s continental cultural tradition, rejects Eurocentrism, utopian fantasies and dualistic thinking, and explores pragmatic ways of increasing the diversity of personal flourishing.
“This is a thought-provoking guide to critically reimagining our future.”
