Transhumanist Ideas in the Light of the Eco-philosophical Paradigm

Aim. To consider the ideas of transhumanism not as a movement declaring the possibility and necessity of fundamental changes in human nature based on scientific achievements, but as ideas for human improvement within the framework of an eco-philosophical, life-preserving and life-creative approach.Methodology. To study this issue, general and specific scientific methods are used including deduction and induction, analysis, synthesis, generalization, philosophical and historical analysis, and hermeneutics.Results. The analysis allows us to emphasize the idea that technologies and scientific achievements have an exclusively instrumental function. However, achieving the desired future of humanity is possible only through changing the axiological guidelines of the rational-technological paradigm of modern society to the values and regulations of the new eco-philosophical paradigm.Research implications. The results of the study prove that transhumanism is a complex worldview phenomenon with a rich ideological component that does not tolerate unambiguous assessments.
