Summary/Abstract: The definition of the new human being is a conventional issue. The belief in creating such an individual is a common one, and it does not depend on any ideology or any historical period. Attempts to construct a new man should not be reduced to totalitarianisms, as some scholars try to do. It results from a wish to change the world which is not acceptable, and the previous man was not able to change it. It is, though, a theoretical project, which is not based on any tradition, science, it is not even subjected to any realities. Its improbability results from the above, and it comes to light whenever someone attempts to put it into practice.
