Transformation of the ideas of transhumanism in the modern humanitarian discourse

Transhumanism is a multifaceted cultural phenomenon consisting of beliefs, norms, and social practices that affect not only scientific and technological changes, but also deeper human fears of death and a deeply rooted human desire for immortality.Transhumanism positions itself as a way out of the anthropological crisis. It was these two circumstances that gave rise to the myth of the posthuman and the intellectual movement of transhumanism.Transhumanists offer solutions to humanity’s problems not at the level of changing social institutions and politics, but at the level of philosophical reflection aimed at justifying changes in human nature with the help of convergent technologies.In the course of the research, modern approaches of transhumanism are revealed, focusing on the improvement of man and the theme of immortality. It is noted that the concept of transhumanism develops from science fiction and journalism, it is in these areas that ideas are formed and visualized those technologies will lead humanity to possible progress.It is concluded that the ideas of transhumanism are expressed as much as possible and are figuratively embodied in popular culture. Mass culture not only adapts human consciousness to the perception of transhumanistic ideas, but also sets a vector for the development of science and technology, creating an image of the future. At the same time, transhumanistic modernity forms a new value-normative picture of the world and changes social relations.
