Abstract:
The present work analyzes the classical notion of human nature. He studies this concept in Aristotle, in whom the Greek intellectual understanding of the notion of nature culminates as the later Thomistic reception of it. The main objective of this work is to provide a brief and concise introduction to the philosophy of man, which underlies in many of the authors who not only consider transhumanist thought reductive, with respect to their conception of what man is, but also they try to provide ethical solutions to take on the great opportunities that technoscience presents to today's man.
