【 摘 要 】

A tendency towards posthumanism is on the increase today. The author of the article aims to analyse the issue in order to provide a critical interpretation, offering a short description of the phenomenon, a key concept (freedom) useful in addressing the problem, and a concrete perspective in order to face up to and accept its challenge. In other words: the author of the contribution rejects posthumanism because it is in opposition to humanism and suggests embracing neohumanism as the ethical improvement of human behaviour related principally to education, and not simply to technical progress. The main principle is that human beings are ends, not means of all activities aiming at enhancement of human capacities.
