metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: Today we are not talking about criticism of the traditional image of man, but about the end of
  faith in human exceptionalism. The human rights movement is recognized as a form of logocentrism
  and is shifting towards the protection of the rights of women, children, the disabled,
  prisoners, migrants and other minorities. Voices are heard in defense of the rights of animals
  and non-human beings with artificial intelligence (a pair of robots have already obtained citizenship
  rights); scientists are discussing the possibility of reconstructing human beings based
  on gene technology. A profound transformation of perceptions about man is taking place
  in the models of the new network globalization, which replaces the liberal and conservative
  projects of the unity of mankind. The development of PR technology, which dealt a blow to
  the ideals of individual freedom and democracy in civil society, has turned man into a controlled
  being. The order of a global network society is no longer determined by human criteria
  of good and evil, but by information and financial flows. The digital revolution in work and
  entertainment, education and culture, as well as economics and politics has led to the creation
  of many digital counterparts, while man himself, deprived of the protection of the state and
  society, has found himself in a situation of anomie and total loneliness. Thus, transhumanism
  is no longer a mental experiment of marginal philosophy, but a post-human stage of civilization
  development. Discussions about the future of a network society, artificial intelligence
  and human construction based on gene technologies should not be perceived as intellectual
  entertainment, which free minds have been exposed to in recent years. They should not be
  neglected, because the more scenarios of possible development will be created and calculated,
  the better humanity will respond to the next crisis.
