Philosophy of the Future and the Posthuman: Implications and Philosophical Analysis

The relevance of the study arises from philosophical and ideological contradictions regarding human identity, which are intensifying in the scientific worldview and socio-cultural paradigm. The purpose of the article is to reveal the philosophical understanding of existential, anthropological, and axiological transformations of humans in the future. The research task is to highlight prospects for human dimensionality in the near future and global strategies of human existence within an uncertain future model. The analysis is based on reviewing, comparing, and systematising 52 scientific works covering anthropological topics within the context of philosophy, science, and civilisation. The study results indicate the absence of a unified posthuman model due to the uncertainty of human positioning in the future. The modern scientific picture offers only fragmented changes to the traditional idea of humans (biological, social, spiritual). In contrast, philosophy remains a key tool for interpreting developmental vectors of anthropological strategies that ensure the integrity of future humanity. The study’s specificity lies in balancing dichotomous and synergistic principles of philosophical and anthropological dimensions. On one hand, the posthuman contrasts with modern humans from scientific, natural, and socio-cultural perspectives. On the other hand, the formation of the posthuman is driven by processes where scientific, natural, and socio-cultural dimensions influence human transformation. The research prospects involve applying a synergistic model—potentially a methodological foundation for future philosophy—that emphasises pluralistic, interdisciplinary, and multicultural approaches to studying the posthuman. The study highlights the variability in scientific and philosophical discourse regarding the posthuman, leading to turbulence in philosophical and anthropological research. In this context, it is essential to preserve value-existential and functional-practical constants of the world order, correlating the philosophical methodology of the future (posthumanism and transhumanism) with characteristics of the human of the future.
