Abstract

This study focuses on Christian Transhumanism as an example of the new approaches brought about by the “religion-technology” interaction. Christian transhumanism, which intermingles Christianity and Transhumanism and which, in this regard, is a religious transhumanist movement, makes use of both secular transhumanism and Christianity in its views on issues such as “fighting with pain, diseases, ageing, and even death; human development, transformation and creativity, and eschatology”. Christian transhumanism has highlighted eschatological emphasis in its approach to the abovementioned issues. Hence, Christian transhumanism can be defined as a “techno-eschatological” movement. This study concludes that Christian transhumanism had opted to put its attitude in respect of the relationship between religion and technology, which has gradually turned into a theological problem for religions, in favour of both “religionization of technology” and the “technologicalization of religion”, hence preferred the option of reconciliation.

Özet

Bu çalışma, “din-teknoloji” etkileşiminin ortaya çıkardığı yeni yaklaşımların bir örneği olarak Hıristiyan transhümanizmini konu edinmektedir. Hıristiyanlık ile Transhümanizmi mezceden ve bu özelliğiyle dinî transhümanist bir hareket olma özelliği taşıyan Hıristiyan transhümanizmi, “acı, hastalık yaşlılık ve ölümle mücadele; insanın değişimi, dönüşümü ve yaratıcılığı ve eskatoloji” gibi konulardaki görüşlerinde hem seküler transhümanizmden hem de Hıristiyanlıktan istifade etmiştir. Hıristiyan transhümanizmi zikredilen meselelere yaklaşımında eskatolojik vurguyu ön plana çıkarmıştır. Bundan dolayı Hıristiyan transhümanizmi “tekno-eskatolojik” bir hareket olarak tanımlanabilir. Çalışmada Hıristiyan transhümanizminin, dinler için de giderek teolojik bir sorunsala dönüşmeye başlayan din-teknoloji ilişkisi konusundaki tavrını, hem “teknolojinin dinîleştirilmesi”nden hem de “dinin teknolojikleştirilmesi”nden yana koyduğu, dolayısıyla uzlaşı seçeneğini tercih ettiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
