포스트휴먼, 트랜스휴먼, 그리고 인간 정체성의 분화

초록

This thesis aims to examine the differentiation of human identity throughposthumanism and transhumanism. As human needs and desires fueltechnological advances, being a cyborg and not being able to do so causea differentiation of human identity. The question of what kind of humanbeing will eventually lead to a discussion about the development and applicationof static technology. Science is preoccupied with ‘promising’ the future ratherthan ‘proving’, which is its original role. In this aspect of science, the collusionbetween capitalism and science, as well as the reality that transhumanismhas the same appearance as a pseudo-religion, was confirmed. Bothposthumanism and transhumanism are a kind of discourse formed by thedevelopment of science. As science itself becomes a discourse, it is also truethat there is a growing concern that science is full of conviction that it will destroy the essence of human beings. There is no need to discount the humanneed for constant development and the noble efforts to satisfy it. However,it is clear that all trends modifying humanism should not neglect to detectchanges in humans and humanity again.
