U.S. Transhumanist Party Virtual Enlightenment Salon with Stefan Lorenz Sorgner

On Sunday, September 21, 2025, the U.S. Transhumanist Party invites Professor Stefan Lorenz Sorgner to discuss Euro-Transhumanism, a term he coined in 2022 for a vision that emphasizes a culturally nuanced, ethical, and inclusive approach to technological enhancement. The Virtual Enlightenment Salon will include a discussion of what Euro-Transhumanism is, what differentiates it from “classical transhumanism” in Sorgner’s view, what are some of its policy implications, and what American politics can learn from Euro-Transhumanism, especially in light of the quite turbulent recent political events in the United States.

Stefan Lorenz Sorgner is a world-leading philosopher recognized for his work in posthumanism, transhumanism, Nietzsche, and the philosophy of music. He is especially known for his interpretations of Friedrich Nietzsche and his critical engagement with human enhancement and emerging technologies. He is a philosophy professor at John Cabot University in Rome, Director and Co-Founder of the Beyond Humanism Network, and a Fellow and Advisor of numerous organizations, as well as Editor-in-Chief and Founding Editor of the Journal of Posthuman Studies, and a prolific public speaker.

Stefan Lorenz Sorgner has authored numerous books on philosophy, including “Metaphysics Without Truth” (2007), “On Transhumanism” (2020), “We Have Always Been Cyborgs” (2022), and “Philosophy of Posthuman Art” (2022).
