¿Un transhumanismo nietzscheano? Sobre la parcialidad del alegato

subject

description

espanolEl articulo analiza desde una perspectiva critica las tentativas de interpretar a Nietzsche como un precursor del transhumanismo. Tras una breve contextualizacion del fecundo debate en torno a Nietzsche y el transhumanismo, se evalua el caracter fraccional o parcial del alegato de Stefan Sorgner en favor de un “transhumanismo nietzscheano”. Despues, se investiga la tension entre humanidad, la superacion del ser humano y su cria en los escritos de Nietzsche. Una vez ejecutado este analisis, y sin animo de caer en el anacronismo, se sostiene que Nietzsche anticipa ciertamente un germen de la idea de post-humanidad, en su critica de la cultura humanista y en su invitacion a transformar el ser humano y superar el nihilismo, pero no asimilable a la vertiente tecnologica del transhumanismo. Para concluir, se sugiere una prospectiva de analisis del transhumanismo desde una perspectiva nietzscheana, tomando como ejemplo la imagen de las “sombras de Dios”. EnglishThe article analyzes from a critical perspective the attempts to interpret Nietzsche as a precursor to transhumanism. After a brief contextualization of the fruitful debate concerning Nietzsche and transhumanism, the paper evaluates the partial or fractional character of Stefan Sorgner’s plea for a “Nietzschean transhumanism”. Then, it considers the tension between humanity, the overcoming of the human being and their breeding in Nietzsche’s writings. Once this analysis is carried out, and without the intention of falling into anachronism, it is argued that Nietzsche certainly anticipates a seed of “post-humanity”, with his critique of humanistic culture and his invitation to both transform the human being and to overcome nihilism, but this idea of post-humanity should not be assimilated to the technological ideal of transhumanism. As a way of conclusion, a prospective analysis of transhumanism from a Nietzschean perspective is suggested, using as a way of example the image of the “shadows of God”.
