Final Avatar. Around the concept of cyberimmortality.

Abstract

The paper focuses on the issue of avatarization in the context of the transhumanist concept of cyberimmortality. Avatarization is discussed as the process of human beings manifesting themselves in the digital form. According to some transhumanists and futurists the final stage of the process is said to be associated with the emergence of a digital post-human. The aim of the article is to examine the ​​cyberimmortality against the background of other subsets of transhumanism and to discuss challenges related to the idea of ​​mind uploading (namely: anthropological, metaphysical and social).
