Summary/Abstract: The main objective of this article is to demonstrate the actuality of the critical analysis of the main transhumanist concepts related to environmental degradation and the use of new convergent technologies. The negative tendencies of the development of contemporary civilization and their adverse influences on the human body and psyche are not fatal, nor indelible, from the perspective of many transhumanists and posthumanists Also inconsistent are the transhumanist and posthumanist concepts about the transfer of the human intellect to the machine or the robot. The same advanced technologies, technique and science in general, including the socio-humanistic sciences, can be directed by man towards overcoming the global ecological crisis and solving global problems in the interests of man, society and earthly nature.
