A critique of the Transhumanist ideal of life
Main Article Content
Abstract
It studies the morality of the transhumanist project considering the type of ideal life supposed by it ends. First, it shows that it is convenient to address the question of transhumanism’s morality from the formal consideration of it ends. Second, it determines the anthropological core that underlies it ends making a comparison with Aquinas’ anthropology. Third, it shows that the ends pursued by transhumanism frustrate the aspiration of true happiness.
