Du mythe de l’immortalité à l’utopie/dystopie transhumaniste
From the Myth of Immortality to the Transhumanist Utopia/Dystopia

Summary/Abstract: In the wake of the 20th century French School of imagination studies, my paper wants to highlight the significant differences between two visions about humanity: a traditional transcendentalist vision of immortality, created by a long historical and cultural process of self-poiesis, and an immanentist scientific ideological vision, represented by the humanism of the modern era. In postmodern times, this positivist view prolongs itself in the “transhumanist revolution”, a by-product of the ideological myth of progress.
