The article is devoted to an attempt at a philosophical analysis of the genesis of the transhumanistic worldview in the context of the explosive development of science and technology and the active use of convergent technologies that change the nature of interaction not only between man and the environment, but also between man and the environment themselves. The emphasis is on the consideration of ideological milestones in the formation of a transhumanistic worldview. Special attention was paid to the designation of reference points for the formation of transhumanism. The author also revealed the specifics of modern transhumanism. The purpose of the article is to identify the structural elements of this ideology, to identify the trajectory of the formation of a transhumanistic worldview - from single episodic ideas to a full-fledged paradigm of thinking. The result of the explication is a combination of paradigmatic attributes of transhumanism - ideological attitudes, ideological vectors, ideological tools.
