Abstract

Terasem is a religious transhumanist movement that progresses in different ways to the goals and ideals of Transhumanism, a techno-religious movement whose name has begun to be heard in recent years, and evaluates this progress from ethical, legal and especially religious perspectives. Terasem, who sees vitality as consisting of brain activities, argues that immortality can be achieved by copying brain functions and experiences into a new human-machine combination that can function similarly to the brain or by copying them completely into a machine. Terasem, who ignores the soul by seeing man as consisting of the worldly experiences of the mind and the mind, cannot provide a satisfactory explanation as to the extent to which the delusion that a machine loaded with the experience, experience and even feelings of a human being immortalizes him by continuing to keep that person alive can be considered as life, but he aims to support his goals and ideals with his own religious movement, which he defines as Trans-religion. Defining the word trans not as a transition or transformation, but as transcendence, Terasem claims to transcend, not exclude, those who believe in God. Terasem draws a profile of a conciliatory or syncretic religious movement by offering its followers the freedom to believe and practice another religion. This study is to consider and evaluate the Terasem Movement from the perspective of the History of Religions.

Özet

Terasem, transhümanizmin insanı dönüştürme ideallerine etik, hukuki ve dini bağlamında yaklaşan hem tekno-fütürist hem de dini transhümanist bir harekettir. İnsan olmayı dünyevi tecrübeler ve anılardan ibaret gören Terasem, ölümsüzlüğün bu deneyim ve bilgilerin kaydedilmesi ve beyinle benzer bir şekilde işlenebilmesi ile mümkün olacağını iddia etmektedir. Ruhu yok sayarak bir insana ait yaşanmışlıkların ve dünyevi tecrübelerin dijital bir kopyasının makineler veya biyo-mekanik varlıklara yüklenmesinin insanı yaşatmaya devam edeceği ve onu ölümsüzleştirdiği düşüncesi başlı başına bir tartışma konusudur. Bununla birlikte Terasem, mevcut dinleri kendi amaç ve ideallerinin gerçekleştirilebilmesini sağlayacak bilimsel çalışmaların önünde önemli bir engel olarak görmektedir. Bu bağlamda dini bir hareket olarak Terasem Trans-din Hareketi kurulmuştur. Söz konusu grup, transhümanizm ile ulaşılacak trans-human’ın yani aşkın insanın aşkın dini olarak sunulmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, tüm dinler ile uzlaşmacı ve kapsayıcı bir aşkın din olarak sunulan Terasem Trans-dini Dinler Tarihi perspektifinden ele alınmış ve değerlendirilmiştir.
