| 520 | |a Transhumanism, which aims to enhance and transcend human biological limits, is often seen as secular. However, Catholic theologian Benedikt Paul Göcke argues that Christianity can support a moderate transhumanism, as its goals do not replace Christian eschatological hope. Göcke claims that “Christian cyborgs” could align with Christian eschatology since transhumanism’s aspirations are irrelevant for Christian faith. This paper challenges Göcke, asserting that transhumanism inherently carries soteriological and eschatological narratives, making its claims theologically relevant and problematic. Göcke’s framework, which separates creation from eschatology, is dualistic. The paper concludes that the soteriological and eschatological assumptions in transhumanism conflict with Christian faith. | ||
