Streszczenie If the task of culture is a continuous ethical advancement of human beings and the development of their personalities through the means of symbolization, then the transhumanist movement sabotages that task, notably by the regression of human subjects towards a technocratic cult of imagination to be actualized through marketed technical enhancement. Transhumanism cedes the task of elucidation and transformation of experience through symbolic mastery to technical augmentation, leaving out the urgent ethical, existential, social problems and conceptual work to be taken care of by technological progress itself.
