What does it mean to be human in a technologically enhanced world? The paper identifies six key challenges that must be considered when discussing the idea of humanity today. From these challenges emerge six key concepts: embeddedness, responsibility, normative vision, plurality, finitude, and the deep passivity of human existence. In debate with transhumanism I focus particularly on the last two because the importance of our finitude and passivity has dangerously been downplayed in recent years.
