Abstract：
Many transhumanists see their respective movement as being rooted in ancient ethical thought. However, this alleged connection between the contemporary transhumanist doctrine and the ethical theory of antiquity has come under attack. In this paper, we defend this connection by pointing out a key similarity between the two intellectual traditions. Both traditions are committed to the \"radical transformation thesis\": ancient ethical theory holds that we should assimilate ourselves to the gods as far as possible, and transhumanists hold that we should enhance ourselves beyond the physical and intellectual parameters of being human so as to become posthuman. By considering the two views in tandem, we develop an account of the assimilation directive that is palatable to contemporary readers and provide a view of posthumanism worth wanting.
摘要：
许多超人类主义者认为他们各自的运动植根于古老的伦理思想。然而,这种所谓的连接之间的当代超人类主义的学说和伦理理论的古代已经受到攻击。在本文中,我们通过指出两种知识传统之间的关键相似性来捍卫这种联系。两种传统都致力于“激进的转变论点”:古代伦理理论认为，我们应该尽可能地将自己同化于神灵，超人类主义者认为，我们应该超越人类的身体和智力参数，成为后人类。同时考虑这两种观点，我们开发了一个帐户的同化指令，是可口的当代读者，并提供了一个观点的后人类主义值得想要的。
