Abstract
This article addresses the philosophical bases that originated the development of the various transhumanist theories, a school of thought that has become highly relevant today. In addition, this study details the main philosophical assumptions on which this school of thought is based. Furthermore, from these assumptions it is made an analysis of the distancing of the transhumanist model from the modern humanist model and about the urgent need for a critical and profound reflection carried out by the humanities regarding the dilemmas that arise as a product of the development and implementation of convergent technologies, which constitute how transhumanism can materialize.
