Summary
AI-generated from the abstractThe paper argues that trans-humanism should be understood more broadly within life and death education, proposing a 'trans-mystical mindset' that integrates spiritual and mystical perspectives alongside technological enhancement. It suggests that focusing solely on technological transcendence neglects existential questions about mortality and meaning. The authors advocate for a holistic framework that includes spiritual growth and inner wisdom to address human flourishing and the ultimate questions of life and death.
