The article reveals teleologically burdened statements in the structure of trans-humanists' philosophical views. The author emphasizes the metaphysical and non-scientific status of the teleological statements about the evolution and fate of humans and makes the conclusion that trans-humanism can be reformulated with the purpose of excluding metaphysical statements.
