Introduction
Abstract
This volume of the Ignatianum Philosophical Yearbook is dedicated to the issue of transhumanism. The texts in this issue focus predominantly on various bioethical issues discussed by transhumanists. Bioethical reflection around transhumanism is present primarily in the Englishlanguage literature, with the bulk of the debates taking place with the participation of prominent schoolars from the Anglo-American area. Increasingly, the issue is also visible in the German-speaking area. In Poland, on the other hand, it is only just entering the sphere of interest of bioethicists from various scientific and research backgrounds. Recent years have abounded in publications addressing various issues related to transhumanism.
