The Relationship between Passion In Kierkegaard's philosophy and the life of Humans in the Age of transhumanism and A.I

One of the most significant issues and challenges of human existence since the emergence and advancement of technology is "being human." The meaning of "being human" (in this research), as opposed to machines, is existence with passion. According to the Danish philosopher "Søren Kierkegaard," passion is the most critical driver of human life. There is a belief that with the advancement of technology, human beings are getting closer to machines. Humans are entering the era of artificial intelligence and "transhumanism," which "Max Tegmark" calls "Life 3", not only the survival but also the existence of humans is endangered.. About two centuries ago, Kierkegaard, in his diaries and the book "Two Ages: A Literary review" pointed out that man is moving away from the passion in the modern age. The current research seeks to find the relationship between passion as the driving force of human life and the position of humans with machines and living in the era of transhumanism and artificial intelligence by examining Kierkegaard's opinions about the present age and human passion. As a result, by referring to Kierkegaard's theories, it is possible to understand that the best way to escape passivity for humans in the age of technology is to choose the authentic self and prove the spiritual existence of humans in the moral and religious stages, provided that such an idea is converted into action.
