Theism -
outlook, which is based on the deity is placed projecting the embodiment of all
ideal. The highest opportunities that cannot reach by the common man. To draw
an analogy with transhumanism, God is the ideal, for which a person should seek.
Roughly speaking, God - the image of a post-human.
Theism took
on the role of artificial life spotter. Systems dogmas, spiritual practices,
austerities, etc. artificially restrained instincts of man. Comparing with the
same paganism or antiquity. In those cultures was an item such as
"fate." A man lived by the laws of nature, worshiping her forces. The
man was an element of nature, and included it on a par with animals, birds and
plants.
Christianity
rejects the factor of "Destiny", making the person responsible for
everything that happens. Made of a man the crown of creation, he presents in
his hands the whole world.
What is the
difference between these two trends? Provided that both include the possibility
of artificial intervention.
Theism
provides for the development of the spirit, without changing the structure of
the body. On the contrary, often it is forbidden to interfere in the physiology
of the body.
Transhumanism
is not so often seen in the spiritual component (or consciousness). It is more
important value of the body as the seat of consciousness. And without this
material body, yet, life is impossible.
We are once
again seeing the same goals: the development of man to its highest stage. But
the methods are so different, it's worth thinking about the ways of their
synthesis.
