Evolutionary Transhumanism in the Context of Philosophical Anthropology
Journal Title: Studia Paedagogica Ignatiana. Rocznik Wydziału Pedagogicznego Akademii Ignatianum w Krakowie - Year 2017, Vol 20, Issue 1
Abstract
The author of the article considers the human condition within the framework of technological advances. He justifies the conception of the Enlightenment as an ideology legitimizing the transition from the human being to a “neo-human being.” The basic theses of evolutionary transhumanism are offered and analysed as a mind-set model for the epoch of cybernetic revolution. The main subject of the first section is the concept of “ideology.” It will be discussed with regard to the opposition between Enlightenment and Anti-Enlightenment and finally formulated as a way of maturing that transgresses the traditional definition of ideology as a “style of thought” (Denkstil). In the second section, transhumanism will be introduced as an ideological concept in reference to “Evolution 2045” and “Russia 2045” founded by Dmitry Itskov. On this basis the author will demonstrate that the content of the transhumanistic ideology corresponds to the Platonic concept of technique and therefore pursues a noble ethical purpose.
