Reflections on transhumanism and the poetic character of existence

Abstract

One of the reflections of interest to us is the relationship between transhumanism and the poetic nature of existence. While transhumanism advocates the advancement of technology and science to improve the human condition in terms of biological limitations, poetry and tragic thought manifest themselves through the affirmation of existence and the observation of the human condition. However, they are not interested in non-aging or immortality. Rather, they focus on the here and now, on the relationship of knowing oneself as human, that is, finite and mortal.
