The aim of this paper is to show source inspirations on which anthropological model of transhumanist doctrine has been built. Fundamental thesis of transhumanism says that there is possibility of transgressing the natural condition of man through the various latest technologies what suppose to develop more excellent human’s essential form. The author turns attention to the fact that there is a category of possible beings and ontology of transfer adopted by transhumanist doctrine and that there is no essential differentiation between two notions such as „being” and „product”. For that reason it is impossible to apply aparatus of Thomisitic metaphysics to that doctrine. Another element which shows discrepancy of both stances is, analysed by the author, opposition between materialistic-naturalistic transhumanist anthropological model, called on the ground of natural science encephalocentrism and hylemorfism proper for Christian antropology. The author shows irrationality of many anthropological ideas of transhumanist doctrine and also presents its two main sources. The first is ideologization in the area of natural science whose extreme appearance we find in reductionist encephalocentrism. The second is extrapolation of reductionist encephalocentrism stance along with stances of technological probabilism into religious domain of anti-Christian antic gnostic systems. The author ultimately states that transhumanism is ideology which skillfully transforms gnostic mysticism into „new garments” of the latest technologies and for that, it effectively resonates in a contemporary irrational anti-culture.
