> Cyborg :
A cyborg, short for ' ۳ تم organism", is a being
with both organic and I ic body parts.
The term cyborg is not the same thing as bionic,
biorobot or android; it applies to an organism that has
restored function or enhanced abilities due to the
integration of some artificial component or technology
that relies on some sort of feedback. While cyborgs are
commonly thought of as mammals, including humans
they might also conceivably be any kind of organism

>» Post-human :
Post-human is a concept originating in the fields of
science fiction, futurology, contemporary art, and
philosophy that literally means a person or entity that
exists in a state beyond being human. The concept
addresses questions of ethics and justice, language
and trans-species communication, social systems, and
the intellectual aspirations of interdisciplinarity.
The notion of the post-human comes up both in Post- —
humanism as well as Trans-humanism.(These two |
terms in the past, had two different meanings, but
now they are very close together. In the philosophy of,
modern science, they are refer to a single concept)

of nanotechnology, has summarized the ultimate goal of his field
as “thorough and inexpensive control of the structure of matter.”

building nano machines, often called “assemblers” or “nanobots,”
that will be used to construct objects on an atom-by-atom basis.
» With its bold scheme to completely dominate materiality itself,
nanotechnology has been prophesied to accomplish almost
anything called for, by human desires.

are investigating nanotech possibilities, constituting a dense
discourse network—a technoscape—of individuals and institutions

G. Pico della Mirandola one of the

If the essence of all living beings,
according to the Mirandola’s words,

essence of a dog, a lion shows the
essence of the lion), then the person

To gain its essence a person must go through a number of routes

the opportunity to rise to the stars and angels, and so there is a
risk of falling to the animal state.

In the late nineteenth century in his theory of the founder of

on of the human body to the outside world.
Culture as a whole and technology, in particular, it is seen as
an extension of the human body and mechanical imitation of
his various organs: « All means of culture, whether they will be
roughly the thinnest material or construction, are nothing
more than a projection of human organs».
E. Kapp comes from anthropological criterion, actually
proclaiming human center of the universe, the starting point
and ultimate goal of all achievements.
In the early twentieth century in the works of Russian cosmists
(Vernadsky Kuprevich, Fyodorov,) universe and man appear
within a single system, evolving in space, which is
subordinated to the common universal principles,....,.02;
صفحه 33:
So, according to E Kapp, the definition of the
existence and essence of man is no longer limited
to their internal nature. This concept, in the
presence of man in the larger world and beyond
his own body, must be defined. Hence, the human
is a part of this great complex world, which, of
course, can dominate all its existence and the
whole world around it.
