Question for Damien:
Is *materialism* a philosophy? Is it a philosophical system? (Perhaps
these should be treated as two separate questions.) If so, what are
its core texts?
I'd be willing to grant that transhumanism is not a philosophical
system -- if that is taken to mean a system of thought that includes
a large number of highly specific claims. I do, however, maintain
that it is a philosophy, as well as an intellectual and cultural
movement. (It seems a bit peculiar to me to acknowledge that it's an
intellectual movement but not a philosophy.)
