Maslov, V.M. Post-Human as a Paradigm in Modern Culture

Abstract: The article is devoted to the role of Transhumanistic and Post-Human concepts in the culture of industrial civilization. The methodological basis of the research consists of modern definitions of the ‘paradigm’ that expand the term and make it apply to all forms and representations of cultural phenomena. Post-Human cultural testing shows how many facilities of spiritual and mental culture require a new conceptualization (some personality theories and sociobiology) and are starting to be interpreted from the point of view of Post-Humanism (Humanism, Post-Modernism and Friedrich Nietzsche’s super-human). The concept of universal evolutionism appears to be the form of accumulation of all implicit and explicit post-human aspirations and opportunities of modern industrial civilization. In some cases, the relation between the theory of universal evolutionism and Post-Humanism tasks is conditioned by scientific and technological development. Modern quantitative improvements in the sphere of high tech directly leads to implementation of Post-Humanistic orientation at overcoming well-known limits of human as biological species called homo sapiens. All that allows to state that Post-Humanistic ideas can actually become dominating in the spheres of philosophy and ideology of mankind.


Keywords:
