Елиминиране на човешкото – от кибернетиката до трансхуманизма
To Eliminate the Human – from Cybernetics to Transhumanism

Summary/Abstract: In his book The Obsolescence of Humankind (1956), Gunter Anders speaks of the Promethean shame of the modern man that he is not at the height of the things he invented himself. At the heart of this shame stands the humiliating feeling that unlike a machine, the human being is an accidental, incomplete result of a blind, unpredictable, incalculable and uncontrollable process of conception and birth, that unlike machines, he is born, not produced. Desiring to imitate the technical tools, the modern man sets himself ever higher goals, becoming subject to a specific engineering whose ultimate goal is to transform tne man into a machine. The article еxamines this process of eliminating the human from the cybernetics through the algorithmic governmentality to the biotechnical enhancement.
