“…This requires a new, sensible approach to the artificial, one that does not pose a threat to human existence. Therefore, it is important to open up a new space for critical reflection on artificiality, evil, human nature and its relationship with new technologies (Petrushenko, Chursinova 2019).…”

This article considers the ethical dimension of technological science (technoscience), namely, the problem of the applicability of the categories of ‘good’ and ‘evil’ to the functioning of new technologies. Aspects of evil brought about by the introduction of new technologies (i.e. lack/scarcity of resources, devaluation of human labour, ignorance of/inability to use technical tools, violations of the measure and harmony of life, etc.) are highlighted. Particular attention is paid to a new form of evil, namely artificial/technological evil. The article argues that the emergence of such evils is associated with the growing scale of human intervention in the natural course of things and with recent advances in technology. Dangers related to the uncontrolled development of technological science along many axes of human existence are analysed. The authors conclude that overcoming artificial evil is possible via a transition from a man-made to an anthropogenic (intellectual and humanistic) form of civilisation in which the achievements of technoscience serve not the self-destruction of mankind but the discovery of essential human forces.

“…Молоді науковці у своїх дослідженнях також спираються і на роботу, у якій наводяться аргументи щодо необхідності доповнення існуючих підходів до розуміння явища технонауки аналізом технології науки у контексті філософської та антропологічної інтерпретації технології 57 . Стаття дає критичне розуміння оцінки нейтральних технологій, запропонованої К. Ясперсом, окреслює нові перспективи для вивчення технологій з урахуванням того, як людина вписується у глибші структури світу.…”

“…Talovic (2022), etc. Analysing them, it is worth noting the problematic nature of the introduction of the latest technologies into the human sphere of life, which is connected with the contradictory expectations of a person, since we observe here the gradual loss of the usual existential principles of life and the spread of fantastic ideas about the rapid scientific and technological progress (Petrushenko, Chursinova 2019;Rimkus 2020). This contradiction is connected, on the one hand, with human hopes for a better life and, on the other, with the risks of the identity loss and various methods of manipulation.…”

The article considers the issue of chnging the main anthropic characteristics of a human under the influence of the rapid development of the latest technologies. Such changes cause the need to revise the usual interpretation of the concept of ‘human’, which is gradually being substituted by the currently popular concepts of ‘trans-’ and ‘post-human’. These concepts are favourably perceived by the techno-optimists, who believe that the latest technologies will allow us to create people who will be physically, intellectually and spiritually superior to the people of today, although they admit that this may lead to greater social inequality. The article states that the post-human potential is too ambiguous to clearly outline it. On the one hand, it opens up unprecedented possibilities, which can be considered the highest manifestation of human freedom, i.e. the ability to model a person according to one’s vision. On the other – there is a real threat to human existence itself, namely, the danger of technological capture of the potential for human improvement. Therefore, the task of the article is to outline the possible prospects for the formation and improvement of modern human identity under the conditions of its combination with the other, non-human species and the latest technologies. This is possible under the condition of acceptance of new possibilities for the post-human as the liberating force that overcomes the negativity and limitations of human nature. The comparative method and the method of analysis were used in the article.
