Summary/Abstract: The publication shows definitional meanders of transhumanism and its various subsystems. It discusses its link with biopolitics, as well as the potential results associated with it. The author attempts to answer the question concerning social, political, axiological consequences of dynamic technological development and the ultimate constitution of the post-humanist order. He proposes a hypothesis that transhumanism will increasingly become an object of modern and postmodern biopolitics and thus, the effects of dynamic technological development should be examined in comparison with biopolitical interactions.
