Abstract
This paper is the third series of private essays for the construction of comprehensive anthropology, and is related to the theme of the 2022 conference symposium, "Human Existence's Fluctuations in the Post-Human Era." In the first half of the paper, I summarize and comment on the historical background, related movements, thoughts, and worldviews in association with Post-humans. In the second half, I discuss various forms and ways of being in relation to the extension of human ability, and also comment on the problems. The main points of discussion are to gain a deeper understanding of the multifaceted nature of human existence. As well as the aspect of individual capacity expansion, it is important to recognize, criticize and control the influence formed by aggregates of humans, AI, and machines organically.
