Abstract
This article will exemplify John David Trentham's Inverse Consistency Protocol (ICP) in analyzing Ray Kurzweil's seminal work: "The Singularity is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology." If Kurzweil’s vision of transhumanism becomes viable, Christian educators will face unprecedented implications and challenges. This article will serve as a primer into Kurzweil’s vision and seek to initiate scholarly conversation toward a much-needed Christian worldview response—a response that would be greatly benefited from wisdom gained by foresight, not hindsight.
本文将以John David Trentham的逆一致性协议(ICP)为例,分析Ray Kurzweil的开创性著作:“奇点临近:当人类超越生物学时”。如果库兹韦尔的超人类主义愿景成为现实,基督教教育者将面临前所未有的影响和挑战。本文将作为库兹韦尔愿景的入门读物,并试图发起一场学术对话,以回应一种急需的基督教世界观——这种回应将极大地受益于由远见而非后见之明获得的智慧。
