Transhumanism and “field of possibilities” cognitive technologies
Abstract
Transhumanism and biokonservatizm — two extreme philosophical positions about the prospects for the development of cognitive technologies. They opposed the position, based on the idea that the reproduction of the universal relationships between man and the world is a form of consciousness, which is called “the mystery”. Mystery sets the boundaries of “knowable — unknowable” in specific historical circumstances. Mystery has a binary (cognitive and value-affective) structure.
