Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper was to philosophically investigate transhumanism. Transhumanism, transhuman, transhumanists – these are the words that are today, due to the socio-technological turmoil of recent years, attributed to everything and anything. However, in reality, transhumanism is a movement of marginal intellectuals united around the idea of technological improvement of man with the ultimate goal of transcending human nature. Methodologically speaking, the investigation of this article was carried out in the following way: first, we determined the essential elements of transhumanism through a historical-cultural overview of the movement itself; then, we analyzed these elements while adhering to the basic principles of natural reason. The paper itself was written in the spirit of scholastic philosophy. Although it does not refer to any of the truths of Revelation, the fact that philosophy which arose under the auspices of the Church is the only one that has to this day preserved all the truths of natural reason, proves the truth of those whom God has sent.
