Hello all,

I just ran across yet another critique on transhumanism. This time it's
coming from the German science fiction author Marcus Hammerschmitt
(here's his
homepage in English:
http://www.cityinfonetz.de/homepages/hammerschmitt/high.html)

He said in the online forum of the German futurist magazine Telepolis:
"Only those without basic knowledge in epistemology, can fall for this
crazy idea of transfering the progress in nature sciences to
philosophy."

This is not the first time I'm reading arguments like this, and I'd like
to know what the best counter-arguments would be here.

Thanks,
Sabine Atkins
