Abstract

The article is devoted to the issue of the boundaries, limitations and moderation in the integration of humans with tools (artifacts) using, among others, artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, which are considered to be one of the types of cognitive enhancements. The context of the considerations will be the dispute between transhumanism and bioconservatism on the acceptability and admissibility of such procedures. The considerations will also take into account moderate positions. In answering the formulated research question, what can be considered a criterion of moderation in the use of such enhancements, conceptual analyses concerning the category of perfection, conducted by Władysław Tatarkiewicz, will be used. As a result, it turns out that the category of perfection analyzed by this representative of the Lvov-Warsaw School can be considered as the above criterion, which to its semantic diversity, will constitute a conceptual plane enabling a more synthetic approach to the diverse and opposing positions related to the acceptability and admissibility of particular cognitive enhancements. This in turn seems to have a positive impact on the understanding of this issue.
