The perils of the technocratic paradigm for justice and peace

Abstracts

EN

The aim of this paper is to point out some of the perils of the technocratic paradigm in the form of transhumanism. The adherents of this trend use the achievements of the ongoing fourth industrial revolution, which is called cybernetic, to support their futuristic ideas. In this paper we will try to critically analyze and evaluate some transhumanist ideas in the light of the social doctrine of the Catholic Church, which is continuously followed by Pope Francisʼ recent Encyclical letter Fratelli tutti on fraternity and social friendship. Transhumanism represents one of the true forms of (theoretical and practical) deconstructivism, anthropological and moral reductionism and relativism. Such a way of thinking and acting morally promotes a wrong materialistic (hedonistic and consumistic) lifestyle that threatens the real goods of human life at the individual and social level. The official teaching of the Catholic Church offers us clear guidelines on how to properly understand and use modern technological advances to help us realize Godʼs intention for this (created) world. This intention includes, among other things, the requirement of peaceful and just coexistence.

Cieľom príspevku je poukázať na niektoré nebezpečenstvá, ktoré v sebe nesie technokratická paradigma v podobe transhumanizmu. Prívrženci tohto smeru využívajú na podporu svojich futuristických ideí výdobytky práve prebiehajúcej štvrtej priemyselnej revolúcie, ktorá má prívlastok kybernetická. V tomto príspevku sa pokúsime kriticky analyzovať a zhodnotiť niektoré transhumanistické idey vo svetle sociálnej náuky Katolíckej cirkvi, na ktoré kontinuálne nadväzuje ostatná encyklika pápeža Františka Fratelli tutti o bratstve a sociálnom priateľstve. Transhumanizmus predstavuje jednu zo skutočných foriem (teoretického a praktického) dekonštruktivizmu, antropologického a morálneho redukcionizmu a relativizmu. Takýto spôsob myslenia a morálneho konania podporuje nesprávny materialistický (hedonistický a konzumný) životný štýl, ktorý ohrozuje skutočné dobrá ľudského života na individuálnej i sociálnej úrovni. Oficiálne učenie Katolíckej cirkvi nám ponúka jasné usmernenia, ako správne chápať a používať novodobé technické výdobytky, aby nám pomáhali realizovať Boží zámer s týmto (stvoreným) svetom. Tento zámer obsahuje okrem iného aj požiadavku pokojného a spravodlivého spolunažívania.
