			Transhumanist philosophy has, however, seen a large degree of criticism from outside its movement. This criticism is often directed towards Transhumanists' Utopian view of society and economic development (particularly their apathy towards understanding class-society, and the threats of even greater economic stratification), the potential moral concerns that would come with their ideas, and their often overly optimistic view of specific technologies.<ref>{{Citation\|author=Richard Saage\|year=2013\|title=New man in utopian and transhumanist perspective\|title-url=https://eujournalfuturesresearch.springeropen.com/articles/10.1007/s40309-013-0014-5\|publisher=Springer Science+Business Media\|trans-lang=English}}</ref>
