nature of humans. Göcke's research also investigates the religiously coded assumptions of the transhumanist agenda and its promise of salvation and examines the extent to which elements of transhumanist thought can be supported from a Christian perspective, for example in the context of process theology . In the history of philosophy Göcke is a leading specialist on the thought of Karl Christian Friedrich Krause (1781–1832), which he places in the context of “classical German philosophy”. Göcke has aimed to show that Krause's thinking has been wrongly forgotten. According to Göcke, Krause developed the first consistently panentheistic system of philosophy which unites all essential areas of philosophical thought. Göcke contends that Krause's work can be directly linked to numerous current discussions in ethics, religious philosophy, anthropology and political philosophy.
