A Divine Witness: An Analysis of the Controversial Idea of Transhumanism

As we live in a technologically advanced world, more and more people are looking for the Holy Grail. It was not the cup of King Arthur and the knight team of His Round Table but the scientific "Holy Grail" thought that all people who used it were in a super shape with no death or illness It was. The idea of ​​overcoming our own flaws and becoming immortal has always been the foundation of many religions in the history of mankind, but in those transcendental religions it usually means death.

Ultimate is a kind of philosophy designed to lead us to the state of death. Superhumanism shares many elements of humanism, such as respect for reason and science, commitment to progress, and the importance of human (or superhuman) survival in life. Ultimateism differs from humanism in that it recognizes and predicts fundamental changes in the essence and possibilities of our lives in science and technology. In 1992, More and Morrow established the Extropy Institute, held a series of meetings, and more importantly, created a futuristic network and provided a mailing list to brainstorm the new memexx. Doctrine. Network culture and network anti-traditional culture

Origin of supermanism The terms superhumanism and post - humanism are recent in its creation, but the views they represent are never new. The potential philosophical philosophy is totally a philosophy of the Enlightenment and full of postmodern relativism of healthy doses. From enlightenment, we can see the complete reductionism of human life in materialistic empiricism of this movement. In 1748 L'Homme Machine (Man a Machine), French doctor and philosopher Julien Offray de la Mettrie wrote that human beings are "the bottom of animals and machines", but another French enlighten Marquis de Condorcet A philosopher written in 1794, "There is no limit to the improvement fixed at the university - the perfection of humans is infinite." These 18th century ideas are easily possible.

Whether superhumism is a division of posthumanism and how this philosophical movement should be conceptualized from the viewpoint of superhumanism is a matter of debate. The latter are often referred to as conservatives, Christians, and progressive critics as a variant of posthumanism or a form of radicalism. A common feature of superhumanism and posthumanism is the future vision of new intellectual species that human beings evolve and finally complement or replace it. Ultimateism emphasizes the evolutionary viewpoint, including the creation of highly intelligent animal species, sometimes through cognitive enhancement (ie biological elevation), but as a final goal of participation in evolution, "Post Human Future "is observed.
