The article discusses the various aspects of the transhumanist ideology, attempts to phi-

losophically understand transhumanism as a phenomenon of social life, and as immorta-

lism worldview. It is focused on the most controversial moments of the interpretation of

the human evolution, showing both positive and negative aspects of the idea of “trans-

human” and “posthuman”. Assessment of contemporary problems is made using the his-

torical and philosophical materials.

Keywords:

transhumanism, posthuman, Nietzsche F., Fеdorov N., Russian cosmism,

Penrose R., synthetic theory of evolution, nanotechnology, cryonics, immortalism
