Abstract

Abstract The aim of this article is to clarify what transhumanism is by asking whether it can be treated as another utopia, ideology, or classically understood concept of the good life. The answer to this question turns out to be currently negative due to the inability to define ultimate values. There is no answer to the question of what the meaning of this improved life is or can be. Improvement turns out to be of a quantitative nature, creating a certain sphere of freedom: one being able to do certain acts without bearing the consequences of the current world. Transhumanist happiness is not a state, but a constant striving for the implementation of these possibilities without answering the question of why one should do so. Axiological replenishment can be provided by an external source of absolute values. Albeit not yet sufficiently developed, Christian transhumanism may be an example of such complementation.
