Abstract
The course is devoted to the research of current trends of posthumanism in their theoretical and practical interpretation. Posthumanism is considered not only in the context of modern culture, but also with the involvement of a broader historical context, including the previous stages of the formation of posthumanistic ideas. Special attention is paid to such concepts as "bio-power", "bioethics", "cyborgization", "human deconstruction".
