Atlas II: Transhumanism and Technology

International Conference on Transhumanism and Technology
October 24, 2024
Society of University Professors and Scientists, Zagreb

Organized by Studia Croatica, the Student Association of the Faculty of Croatian Studies, Atlas II brought together leading international scholars to examine transhumanism and technology from a socio-humanistic perspective. The conference explored whether technological development represents opening Pandora's box, leading humanity from limited innocence into a soulless dystopian future of new technological gods. The event maintained Atlas's core ideals: taking responsibility for posing key questions of our time and believing in the meaningfulness of human action in a world that often relegates meaning and principles to the background.
