Abstract
The shaping of emerging technoscience by transhumanist ideology can be deemed a challenge for both, the interdisciplinary field of technology assessment (TA) and the humanities. The discourses on nanotechnology, "converging technologies" and "human enhancement" respectively are major examples of the influence of transhumanism on areas of new and emerging science and technology. It is argued that TA and the humanities often need to engage more strongly with transhumanism, as an ideology and a sociocultural movement, in order to help make sense of emerging fields of technoscience and their relevance for society.

Abstract:
Formiranje nove tehnoznanosti na temelju transhumanistične ideologije predstavlja izziv tako za interdisciplinarno področje tehnoloških ocenjevanj kot tudi za humanistične vede. Usmeritve, ki jim danes sledijo nanoznanosti, "konvergetne" znanosti in človekovo izboljševanje (human enhancement), so najbolj očitni primeri vpliva transhumanizma na področju novih znanosti in tehnologij. V prispevku so podani argumenti za bolj intenzivno soočanje tehnološkega ocenjevanja in humanističnih ved s transhumanizmom kot ideologijo in socio-kulturnim gibanjem, saj je le tako mogoče osmisliti novo nastajajoča področja tehnoznanosti in njihovo družbeno relevanco.
