The ethics of transhumanism as the quintessence of hedonistic ideas

Introduction. The article is devoted to the ethics of transhumanism as a philosophical trend that elevates hedonistic values to the main principle of human existence.

The difficulty in assessing transhumanist ideas is associated with the rigid determinism of human life by the technosphere. Theoretical analysis.

О нескольких способах понимания технонауки в философии

Введение. Технонаука видится как точка напряжения, собирающая воедино науку, технику и общество. Теоретический анализ. Мы предлагаем два способа рассмотрения технонауки, как как эпистемологического режима и как исследовательской оптики. В каждом из случаев рассмотрения технонаука начинает восприниматься и начинает функционировать по-разному. Новизна работы заключается в том, что мы реконструируем видение технонауки у Маркузе, Лиотара, Портера и Латура., проводим обобщение и сравнительный анализ, на основе которых выводим два определения технонауки. Заключение.
