Abstrakt

The aim of the paper is to reflect on the issue of human nature as a necessary response to transhumanist notions of the need to overcome evolutionary limits. The possibility of influencing human nature by technological methods and means is a theme that is communicated as a change “from humanism to posthumanism.” The purpose is to reflect on whether and why we need the term “human nature” and whether human nature should be accepted as a value or whether the concept of human nature can be abandoned. The paper points out that the ethical discourse on human nature is deficient, yet it is crucial for the potential emergence of normative criteria that will influence the future shape of the species homo sapiens sapiens, as well as social relations and criteria for the functioning of society.
