Abstract

This thesis contains two aims. The first is to analyse the conundrum of views on human beings today, as portrayed and dissected by both critical and speculative philosophies of postmodernity. This serves as a clarified representation of the term posthumanism in the thesis's title. It furthermore shows how those developments in the understanding of what it means to be human converge and intertwine to show the challenges of technological thinking and parallels them to Christian understanding of the same issue. Secondly it proposes an answer to the question Can/should Christian posthumanism exist?

Secondary abstract:	Naloga vsebuje dva cilja. Njen prvi cilj je analizirati mnoštvo pogledov na človeška bitja danes, kot jih prikazujejo in secirajo tako kritične kot spekulativne filozofije postmoderne dobe. Ta pregled služi kot poskus predstavitve in razjasnitve izraza "posthumanizem" v naslovu diplomskega dela. Naloga nadalje pokaže, kako se te spremembe v razumevanju, kaj pomeni biti človek, srečujejo in prepletajo ter preko njih prikaže izzive tehnološkega mišljenja. Kot zadnje jih vzporedi s krščanskim razumevanjem istega vprašanja.%Drugi cilj diplomskega dela je v poskusu odgovora na vprašanje "Ali more/mora obstajati krščanski posthumanizem?"
