Abstract
This article examines transhumanism as an intellectual and cultural movement aimed at overcoming human biological limitations through technology. It analyzes the term's evolution from mid-20th-century futurological concepts to contemporary philosophical discourse. Particular attention is paid to the concept of «posthumanity» as a hypothetical stage of evolution characterized by a radical break with anthropological constants. The author explores key ethical dilemmas: identity, social inequality, ontological security, and the redefinition of human nature.Based on a comparative analysis of the works of N. Bostrom, F.

Set against the political constraints of Indonesia’s New Order and the Reformasi transition,...
Engaging with how different generations of philosophers carry the formative influence of their teachers, I expose difficulties Ernst Cassirer's Enlightenment humanism created for his philosophy coming to terms with the Holocaust, even with his more generous sense of the mythical and non‐rational. I contrast this with A...
