Julian Huxley on Human Potential
Julian Huxley
The human species can, if it wishes, transcend itself—not just sporadically, an individual here in one way, an individual there in another way, but in its entirety, as humanity. We need a name for this new belief. Perhaps transhumanism will serve: man remaining man, but transcending himself, by realizing new possibilities of and for his human nature.
“Transhumanism,” in New Bottles for New Wine, Chatto & Windus, 1957
