Post-umano versus trans-umano : contesti di interlocuzione e potenziamento umano

2016 - Franco Angeli

9-23 p.

  • In this contribution, I aim to develop a philosophical account of post-human that allows us to conceive a future society of humanoids who are free and equal. â€Post-human' is to be interpreted here as material, not anthropocentric but rather interspeciesist, intercultural and syncretic dimension, as horizon of effective sharing of practices. In contrast, trans-human is meant to refer to the transcending of humans into an â€ideal', an immaterial network made up only of software, and lacking of relations with any material beings. The trans-humanism is an ideology directed towards the passing/abolition of the status of â€being human' in terms of finite and incarnate living beings, of which the myth/prevision of mind uploading is one of the most emblematic goals.
