Nauczmy dzieci być bogami – edukacja humanistyczna wobec wyzwania transhumanizmu
Let Us Teach Children to Be Gods – Humanistic Education Facing the Challenge of Transhumanism

Summary/Abstract: In the present article I would like to unveil transhumanism from a pedagogical-philosophical perspective. I will try to indicate that the integration of the fundamental ideas of transhumanism into the process of upbringing and education would lead to a departure from central human values, above all from the concept of dignity of the human person. Also I am particularly keen to emphasize that the contemporary transhumanist movement deliberately aims to have an impact on the essential parameters of children’s and youngster’s imagination in order to bring about a basic redefinition of humanity on the level of early socialization. My main research subject will be Gennady Stolyarov II’s children’s book Death is Wrong of the year 2013, while my analytical and philosophical reference point will be the thought of Stefan Lorenz Sorgner. My hypothesis is: transhumanism tends to extract the human being from the borders of humanity through transgressing what essentially defines the individual as a person.
