Resumo: The aim of this paper is to indicate in a contemporary perspective how transhumanism fits into religious discourse as, in seeking to resignify human existence and lead humanity to a posthuman dimension, it finds roots in the ancient gnostic movements, transforming itself into a new Contemporary religion. Given this, we will first try to identify common ground between Gnosticism and Transhumanism, especially the idea linked to the denial of corporeality. In a second moment, we will show the dangers that transhumanism faces when it intends to give man powers to modify its existence, dispensing with the figure of the creator God.

Diante disso, primeiramente procuraremos identificar as bases comuns entre o gnosticismo e o transumanismo, principalmente a ideia ligada a negação da corporeidade. Num segundo momento, mostraremos os perigos que o transumanismo enfrenta quando pretende dar ao homem poderes para modificar sua existência, dispensando a figura do Deus criador.Universidade Federal do Recôncavo da Bahia2021-02-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-ReviewedEvaluados por los paresAvaliados pelos paresapplication/pdfhttp://www3.ufrb.edu.br/seer/index.php/griot/article/view/215110.31977/grirfi.v21i1.2151Griot : Revista de Filosofia; v. 21 n. 1 (2021); 154-1672178-1036reponame:Griot : Revista de Filosofiainstname:Universidade Federal do Recôncavo na Bahia (UFRB)instacron:UFRBporhttp://www3.ufrb.edu.br/seer/index.php/griot/article/view/2151/1225Copyright (c) 2021 Leonardo Nunes Camargohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCamargo, Leonardo Nunes 2021-06-02T12:21:07Zoai:seer.www.ufrb.edu.br:article/2151Revistahttp://www.ufrb.edu.br/griot/PUBhttp://www3.ufrb.edu.br/seer/index.php/griot/oai||griotrevista@gmail.com2178-10362178-1036opendoar:2021-06-02T12:21:07Griot : Revista de Filosofia - Universidade Federal do Recôncavo na Bahia (UFRB)false
