Dans moins de quinze ans seront vraisemblablement avérées les prophéties de ceux qui annonçent la victoire sur la mort et le triomphe d’une forme de vie non biologique. Le slogan de Google « nous allons tuer la mort » n’est pas qu’une formule publicitaire. Car les technologies déchainées avancent inexorablement vers le moment où nous serons plus qu’humains. De la réparation de nos organes à leur fabrication, de la collection de nos pensées à leur téléchargement sur des formes artificielles, le jour n’est pas très loin où nous pourrons déclarer que nous avons aboli la mort. Que nous avons accompli le rêve prométhéen d’immortaliser ce qu’il y a de plus précieux en nous.
La meilleure définition à donner du Transhumanisme, c’est le blurring de l’homme et de la machine. En bon français, le floutage, le brouillage, l’effacement des limites. Jusqu’à l’effacement de la limite ultime, la mort elle-même.

The last six months has seen a rising flood of publicity about “killer robots” and autonomy in weapons systems. On November 19, 2012, Human Rights Watch (HRW) issued a 50-page report “Losing Humanity: The Case against Killer Robots” outlining concerns about “fully autonomous weapons that could select and engage targets without human intervention” and claiming that a “preemptive prohibition on their development and use is needed”.

After several decades of relative obscurity Transhumanism as a philosophical and technological movement has finally begun to break out of its strange intellectual ghetto and make small inroads into the wider public consciousness. This is partly because some high profile people have either adopted it as their worldview or alternatively warned against its potential dangers. Indeed, the political scientist Francis Fukuyama named it “The world’s most dangerous idea” in a 2004 article in the US magazine Foreign Policy, and Transhumanism’s most outspoken publicist, Ray Kurzweil, was recently made director of engineering at Google, presumably to hasten Transhumanism’s goals.

Le thèse de la singularité est née dans les années 1930 puis a pris son essor il y a une vingtaine d’années. Elle a été notamment vulgarisée par Ray Kurzweil en 2005 dans son livre “The singularity is near”. Elle tourne autour du côté inexorable du progrès technologique et notamment informatique et des lois empiriques exponentielles sur lesquelles je m’étais penché dans une autre série d’articles.
Transhumanism is an increasingly popular philosophical movement, and that increasing popularity can sometimes lead to a degree of confusion among newer adherents about what its necessary features are. In my opinion the only common basis to Transhumanism, coined by Anders Sandberg as the “Central Meme of Transhumanism” (CMT) is as follows: That the human condition can and should be improved by technology.
Longtemps, la communauté scientifique a jugé les thèses transhumanistes peu crédibles. L’accélération du progrès technologique conduit certains chercheurs à s’inquiéter : n’avons-nous pas ouvert la boîte de Pandore ?
At a TED-like techno-geek symposium in the 2014 film Transcendence, Artificial Intelligence guru Dr. Will Caster (Johnny Depp) is asked by an audience member, “So you want to create your own god?” And he answers, “Isn’t that what man has always done?” This smarmy remark is indicative of the hubris and arrogance of scientism, the belief that science can solve all the problems on this planet, while scientists can have fun playing god at the same time.

A schism within the global Transhumanist Party calls into question whether the party can survive in politics at all.
How many fringe movements, subcultures, and special interest groups have been torn apart by infighting right when they were at the verge of reaching a larger audience? It’s a common phenomenon that has thwarted many important discussions before they even began, and now it seems to be happening to the Transhumanist Party. RACHEL PICK, 03/11/2015
Is Transhumanism an exercise in Unnatural Selection?
By definition “Transhumanism” seeks to accelerate the evolution of intelligent life beyond its currently human form. It is therefore in direct conflict with the established biological evolutionary processes responsible for the betterment of species. In a sense you could be excused for asking whether Transhumanism is in fact in competition with Mother Nature. And naturally, is this a bad thing?
Anyone who takes transhumanism seriously is almost by default an ‘ethical modernist’. The position is easiest to state in terms of the history of philosophy. It is someone who believes that Kant and...
Free Will Does Not Exist - Should it be a Transhumanist Enhancement?
I agree with that statement. So do the vast majority of today’s scientists; neurology and psychology journals increasingly define free will as “an illusion… a figment of our imagination.”
Actuellement, la tendance est de rapprocher la technologie du corps. Wearables, lunettes à réalité augmentée, implants de puces RFID etc. : ces avancées font déjà partie du quotidien et ouvrent la voie à des technologies plus lourdes, comme celles des prothèses augmentées.
Lets start with what is transhumanism... in simplest terms it is the idea that human kind can use science and technology to become more than what we are and help those interested in doing the same and in protecting the freedom for all to decide for themselves how to be happy in other words "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness".
I have recently been working my through David Roden’s book Posthuman Life: Philosophy at the Edge of the Human. It is a unique and fascinating work. I am not sure that I have ever read anything quite like it. In the book, Roden defends a position which he refers to as speculative posthumanism. This holds, roughly, that the future we are creating through technological change could give rise to truly weird and alien forms of posthuman life.

Les transhumanistes représentent-ils simplement une secte d’illuminés technophiles issus de la classe moyenne, en mal d’ascension sociale et de sensations fortes ? Le rêve d’un être humain programmable à l’image mécaniste d’un logiciel d’ordinateur et produit par des techniques de sélection, d’élimination ou de manipulation biologique, que les éleveurs appliquent aux espèces animales, n’est-il pas fantasmagorique?

Ruine de l’âme et de l’homme… Il y a infiniment plus dérangeant, dans le registre des curiosités modernes, que le transgenre, c’est le transhumain. Le transgenre est un homme qui se cherche, le transhumain, un homme qui se perd. La journaliste Corine Lesnes, auteure d’un article récent sur le sujet dans le supplément culture du Monde, définit ainsi la philosophie transhumaniste : « Un jour, l’homme ne sera plus un mammifère. »
Since the beginning of mankind, we have been fascinated by immortality. Many have tried, from the pharaohs of ancient Egypt to devout followers of man-made religions. Yet, eternal life remains elusive. In the Hollywood sensationalized movie The Imitation Game, based on the life of Alan Turing, considered the father of theoretical computer science and artificial…
