The Philosophy of Relay Humanology

This book is devoted to a philosophical exploration of the relay-style transformation of the human being in the age of artificial intelligence. At the heart of the analysis lies the author's theory of relay humanoology, which examines the preservation, transfer and transformation of human essence in the context of technological change affecting the subject. The study is structured around three interrelated concepts: distributed subjectivity, the anthropotechnosubject and the creation of a new subject. The first explores the externalisation of human cognitive functions into external technical systems; the second, the interdependent transformation of humans, technology and AI; and the third, the hypothesis of the emergence of a new type of subject and the possibility of a transition from a biospecies to a technospecies. Particular attention is paid to the concepts of the exocortex, distributed cognition, the intellectual relay, the techno-relay, the transfer of consciousness, the depth of the double, the anthropological limit, the quiet end of the biospecies and the quiet beginning of a new subject. The book's key question is formulated as follows: what must be transmitted through the processes of human transformation in order to alter this subject as a continuation of the stable human? The book is intended for philosophers, human researchers and specialists.
