PHILOSOPHICAL‐ANTHROPOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL‐PHILOSOPHICAL FOUNDATIONS OF TRANSHUMANISM IN CONTEMPORARY CULTURE: DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE CONCEPT
Abstract
The issues of formation of transhumanism in cultural philosophy and history of development of conceptual ideas in visual works were considered. In modern philosophical issues, position of transhumanism becomes essential. Ideas of transhumanism are reflected in all areas of digital space. Based on predominantly visual component of this space, we consider philosophical and anthropological ideas and analyze genre features inherent in the means of expression and technological aspects of modern visual culture. Clarification of conceptual foundations of transhumanism and peculiarities of cultural‐anthropological and transdisciplinary approaches to defining the phenomenon of transhumanism helps clarify the issue of transhumanism in historical‐philosophical and philosophical‐anthropological prospective.
Conceptual foundations of the direction are based on humanistic historical perspective, and features of the current state of culture depend on the development of technology, nanotechnology, computer engineering, virtualization of cultural space, literary and cinematic experiments in science fiction. To achieve this goal, we turn to modern advances in neurobiology, phenomenology, philosophy of technology and address ethical issues regarding the morality of the individual in new changing conditions and impact of technological advances on public morality. Drawing conclusions on the development of the concept is not only based on ideas of supporters of transhumanism but also on the work of authors who criticize it.
Provisions of transhumanism (including historical, philosophical and literary base) affect man's perception of the world around him. And development of technical component of the world and state of digital influence on society actualize interest in further immersion in prospects of the direction.
The purpose of the article is to clarify conceptual foundations of transhumanism, features of cultural‐anthropological and transdisciplinary approaches to defining the phenomenon of transhumanism and clarify issues of transhumanism in historical‐philosophical and philosophical‐anthropological prospective.
