| Summary: | This paper studies the evolution of expectations about the future and final destiny of man at an individual and collective level. Until the 18th century, preoccupations related to the personal destiny of each man and the meaning of death predominated. After the revolutions that ended the old regime, interest in the future of humanity as a whole began to dominate. Since the mid-twentieth century there is growing concern about the danger that the human species will disappear and be supplanted by other types of entities, perhaps developed by man himself. Transhumanism has been presented as a solution, based on science, to the desire for survival and enhancement of man. However, their proposals suffer from several weak points, some of them possibly irreparable., El artículo expone la evolución de las expectativas acerca del futuro y destino final del hombre tanto a nivel individual como colectivo. Hasta el siglo XVIII predominaban las preocupaciones referidas al destino personal de cada hombre y el significado de la muerte. Tras las revoluciones que acabaron con el antiguo régimen, empezó a dominar el interés por el futuro de la humanidad en su conjunto. Desde mediados del siglo XX hay una preocupación creciente ante el peligro de que la especie humana desaparezca y sea suplantada por otro tipo de entidades, tal vez desarrolladas por el propio hombre. El transhumanismo se ha presentado como una respuesta, basada en la ciencia, a las ansias de supervivencia y mejora del hombre. No obstante, sus propuestas adolecen de varias debilidades, algunas de ellas posiblemente irreparables. |
