The thesis is a critical analysis of transhumanism as a technocentric secular postmodern worldview in response to which the Thomistic integrated vision of the natural moral law virtue ethics offers a sure path to the human improvement transhumanism purports to provide. In particular, the study gives privileged attention to the Oxford School of transhumanism insofar as Nick Bostrom, Julian Savulescu, and their collaborators usually provide the most systematic philosophical presentation of key points of the transhumanist worldview. Likewise, the text draws heavily upon contemporary Thomistic thinkers to assess the legitimate desires for transcendence in the transhumanist outlook and as a corrective to the limits of the technocratic secular vision.

The work proposes a creative retrieval of Thomistic thought to present a richer vision of human flourishing and a sure guide to transcendent bliss that both fulfills and surpasses the expectations of the transhumanist worldview. Thus, the Thomist does not induce the secular transhumanist to suppress his aspirations for greatness; instead, he invites the wayward transhumanist to cultivate and order his desires toward the true goods that will bring him the eternal life for which he only confusedly but rightfully longs. Overall, this work provides a unique presentation of how the Thomistic synthesis of metaphysics, natural theology, anthropology, and virtue-centered ethics overcomes the limited perspective of the dominant technocratic paradigm to show the human person’s unique dignity and destiny for beatitude.
