Posthumanism is not to be confused with transhumanism (the nanobiotechnological enhancement of human beings) and narrow definitions of the posthuman as the hoped-for transcendence of materiality.
O "posthumanismo" non se debe confundir co "transhumanismo" (a mellora nanobiotecnolóxica dos humanos) e coas definicións limitadas do posthumano como a esperada transcendencia da materialidade.
