چکیده
فراانسانیت فناورانه جنبشی است که برای ارتقای قابلیت‌های انسانی و رفع محدودیت‌های او از طریق فناوری، در تقاطع پیشرفت‌های زیستی و دیجیتال شکل گرفته است. این مفهوم در طول سالیان متمادی دستخوش تغییرات قرار گرفته و معانی متفاوتی را شامل شده‌است، این پژوهش با بهره‌گیری از روش مرور سیستماتیک چهار مرحله‌ای، تکامل تاریخی این مفهوم را در سه دوره روشنگری، انقلاب صنعتی و عصر دیجیتال بررسی می‌کند. تحلیل 31 مقاله علمی و تاریخی نشان می‌دهد که دوره روشنگری با تأکید بر کمال‌پذیری و عقلانیت، انقلاب صنعتی با مکانیزه‌سازی و ظهور فناوری‌های ارتقادهنده و عصر دیجیتال با همگرایی زیست‌فناوری (مانند مهندسی ژنتیک) و فناوری‌های دیجیتال (مانند هوش مصنوعی و رابط‌های مغز-رایانه) به تعریف و توسعه فراانسانیت فناورانه کمک کرده‌اند. از سال 2005 و با ورود بوستروم و پیشرفت فناوری‌های دیجیتال و تراز شدن تدریجی این پیشرفت ها با فناوری‌های زیستی، همگرایی این دو حوزه، دیدگاه‌های ترکیبی را تقویت کرده و انسان آینده را به‌عنوان موجودی زیست‌دیجیتال بازتعریف نموده است و راه غلبه بر محدودیت های بیولوژیکی و بهبود زندگی انسان آینده را در این همگرایی فناورانه میداند. این همگرایی که نشان‌دهنده بلوغ و درک عمیق‌تر از پیچیدگی‌های ارتقای انسانی است، امروزه به عنوان دیدگاه غالب و رایج در پژوهش‌ها به شمار میرود.

چکیده English

Technological transhumanism is a movement that has emerged at the intersection of biological and digital advancements, aiming to enhance human capabilities and overcome their limitations through technology. This concept has undergone significant transformations over the years, encompassing various meanings. Utilizing a four-stage systematic review method, this research examines the historical evolution of the concept across three eras: the Enlightenment, the Industrial Revolution, and the Digital Age. An analysis of 31 scholarly and historical articles reveals that the Enlightenment, with its emphasis on perfectibility and rationality; the Industrial Revolution, with mechanization and the emergence of enhancement technologies; and the Digital Age, with the convergence of biotechnology (such as genetic engineering) and digital technologies (such as artificial intelligence and brain-computer interfaces), have all contributed to the definition and development of technological transhumanism. Since 2005, with the contributions of Bostrom and advancements in digital technologies—alongside their gradual alignment with biotechnologies—the convergence of these two fields has fostered hybrid perspectives. This has redefined the future human as a bio-digital being and posits that overcoming biological limitations and improving future human life lies in this technological convergence. This convergence, which reflects a maturation and deeper understanding of the complexities of human enhancement, is now regarded as the dominant and prevalent perspective in contemporary research.
