Logo of Transhumanism, short: H+ or h+

Transhumanism[1] (from Latintrans "beyond" and humanus "human"), in short H+ or h+, which is predominantly widespread in the Anglo-Saxon world, comprises various heterogeneous philosophical-ideological currents that have in common that they want to improve and expand the physical and/or mental abilities of humans by means of state-of-the-art technology, i.e. through technological human enhancement[2]. It continues the humanist ideal of self-education with other, namely technical means. Ultimately, it is about the technological transformation of man into a posthuman being, as it were the development of a humanity 2.0 consisting of transhumans[3]. Transhumanism is therefore often regarded as a special form of posthumanism[4]. In principle, however, transhumanism and posthumanism differ in that the former wants to improve humans indefinitely, while the latter wants to overcome them altogether.
