520 _aIf transhumanism intends to initiate a revolution in favor of human life, this article attempts to understand its meaning and purpose. The notion of human enhancement defended by transhumanists will thus be confronted with Camusian thinking on the absurd in order to consider the hypothesis that the transhuman revolution could lead to a form of human suicide. By prescribing a meaning of what it means to be “human on Earth,” while at the same time associating with this meaning a power of destiny, the transhumanist ׅrevolution would run counter to democratic societies whose experience is precisely that of an absence of destiny due to an indeterminacy of the meaning of the human. In this respect, transhumanism is akin to a moral renunciation.
