| Summary: | The dream of transcending human limitations dates back to centuries-old tales and stories. This fostered the emergence of the transhumanist movement, a multifaceted movement, centuries old and which was a driving force behind the Transhumanist philosophy, which advocates the use of advanced technologies to improve the human condition and overcome biological limitations, such as aging or intellectual limitations. With its roots in the Enlightenment and Humanism, it proposes a continuous evolution of intelligent life, guided by principles of rationality and ethics, which respect individual freedom and ensure the well-being of all sentience. The implementation of these ideals requires that technological advances are widely accessible and safe, avoiding existential risks and promoting an organized, informed and free society, so that their choices regarding the direction that human improvement technologies can take can be fair, plural and inclusive. |
