Annotation Román Mary Shelleyové z roku 1818 Frankenstein neboli moderní Prométheus vypráví příběh o ctižádostivém vědci, který zaujmul roli Boha, když zdárně stvořil nový druh lidské rasy přesahující vymezení lidskosti. Ve stejném duchu, technologický a vědecký pokrok inspiroval dnešní hnutí Transhumanismu a jeho představy o vylepšení lidské rasy a dokonce, stvoření umělého života. Transhumanisté chtějí vylepšit lidskou rasu pomocí biomechanického a genetického inženýrství a eventuálně, získat kontrolu nad lidskou evolucí. V románu Mary Shelleyové se objevují myšlenky Transhumanismu, které vychází ze starověkých a okultních věd jako alchymie. Ačkoliv Victor Frankenstein dosáhnul úspěchu, to, co stvořil se stane jeho zkázou. Tato bakalářská práce se soustředí na směry, které formovali moderní vědu se začátkem ve starověkém Řecku až po moderní dobu a hnutí Transhumanismu. Zároveň se tahle práce bude soustředit na historický a kulturní kontext románu Frankenstein neboli moderní Prométheus a poukáže na spojitosti s dnešním světem.
Annotation in English Mary Shelley's 1818 novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus tells the story of an excessively ambitious scientist who successfully creates a so-called posthuman - beyond human - and thus, positions himself as God. Similarly, the influence of advanced technology and science has inspired the modern-day movement of Transhumanism and its ideas on human enhancement and even the creation of life itself through technology. Transhumanists seek to enhance the human condition through biomechanical and genetic engineering and, eventually, they wish humans to direct their own evolution to a posthuman species. Several transhumanist ideas which proceed from ancient sciences, alchemy and occultic beliefs and practices can be found in the novel. Despite the success of Victor Frankenstein's experiments, his creation turns out to be his demise. This study aims to explore the foundational notions which helped to shape contemporary science - building on the beginnings of science in ancient Greece towards modernity and the movement of Transhumanism - while exploring the historical-cultural context of Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus and connecting it to the contemporary world.
