Abstract:The paper delves into the complex dynamics between ancient metaphysical understandings and contemporary transhumanist aspirations. Exploring the roots of metaphysics, it provides a panoramic overview of its key philosophers and concepts, and how it has evolved in the context of modern cognitive challenges. In addition, an in-depth analysis of transhumanism, its biotechnological visions, and influence on classical philosophical thought is provided. Special attention is paid to a critical review of transhumanism through the prism of prominent authors, such as Bishop, Lilley, and Sorgner, and it is analyzed how transhumanism redefines classical philosophical categories. The central part of the research is aimed at synthesizing metaphysical and transhumanist worldviews, exploring points of convergence and separation. The conclusion emphasizes the key findings and implications of the research, pointing to potential directions for future research, and reflects on the permanent role of metaphysics in the age of transhumanism.

Title:Metafizika in transhumanizem : Refleksije o “kalkulativni racionalnosti”
Abstract:Prispevek obravnava kompleksno dinamiko med starodavnimi metafizičnimi tolmačenji in sodobnimi transhumanističnimi prizadevanji. Najprej razišče poreklo metafizike, ponudi panoramski pregled poglavitnih filozofov in pojmov in razgrne, kako se je razvila znotraj konteksta modernih kognitivnih izzivov. V slednjem oziru podamo poglobljeno analizo transhumanizma, njegovih biotehnoloških vizij in njegovega vpliva na klasično filozofsko misel. Posebno pozornost posvetimo kritičnemu pregledu transhumanizma pri vodilnih avtorjih, kakor so Bishop, Lilley in Sorgner, in analiziramo, kakor transhumanizem na novo definira klasične filozofske kategorije. Osrednji del razprave želi sintetizirati metafizični in transhumanistični svetovni nazor, pri čemer raziskuje točke konvergence in razlikovanja med njima. Zaključek poudari ključne izsledke in implikacije raziskave ter naznači morebitne smeri za nadaljnje razglabljanje in hkrati razmisli o stalni vlogi metafizike v dobi transhumanizma.
