PERSONAL SAFETY IN THE LIGHT OF TRANSHUMANISTIC IDEOLOGY
Journal Title: Security Dimensions - Year 2016, Vol 19, Issue 19
Abstract
The ideology of transhumanism is subjected to analysis for the personal and social safety. Because of the personal safety, to a large extent, is determined by the rules of morality, it poses the question of ethics in transhuman or posthuman society. The reconstructed ethics of transhumanism appears to be close to a hedonism. There is considered the sense of personal safety in three philosophical concepts of society: Platonic, Epicurean and Hobbes’. That analysis shows defects of Epicurean hedonism and utilitarianism. Therefore it is suggested the Aristotelian-personalistic eudaimonism as the best guarantee of personal safety.<br/><br/>
