Abstract

Faithful to the divine Revelation, the Orthodox Church fully values the deified human being by the uncreated grace of the Holy Spirit and ennobled through the transforming ascetic efforts. From this perspective, as a strictly personal opinion, we have to reject the utopia of the enhanced man. This fatal utopia is the fruit of an entire evolution of the main myths of the Modernity. Thus, the myth of efficient reason becomes in Transhumanism the myth of the Artificial super-intelligence, the myth of the technological progress becomes the myth of the endless progress, an ideology of the progress, and the myth of the Superman becomes the myth of the improved man.
