Abstract
“Super-humans” is usually to be linked to Nietzsche or to Heidegger’s
criticism to Nietzsche, or even to the ideology of Nazism. However, they
can be properly underlain by philosophical and scientific anthropology
as that biological species who will originate from humans eventually in
the course of evolution. There is a series of more or less
well-established facts in anthropogenesis, which would be relevant to
the philosophical question about the “super-humans”: bipedalism,
cooling by sweating, specific hair or its lack, omnivorous-ness, thumb
opposition and apposition, vocal system of speech production, human
brain, long childhood; our species is evolutionary young (about 200 000
years old), but it is the last survived descendant being genetically
exceptionally homogenous (<00,01% genetic differences) of the
genus “homo” (about 6 000 000 old). All this generates a few main
features of our population: society, technics, language, and mind, which
guarantee the contemporary absolute domination of mankind. The society
has reached a natural limitation of earth. The technics depends on how
much energy is produced. The mind is restricted by its carrier, i.e. by
the brain. Thus only the language seems to be the frontier of any future
development inducing a much better use of the former three. The recent
informational technologies suggest the same. Language is defined as
symbolic image of the world doubling it by an ideal or virtual world,
which is fruitful for creativity and any modeling of the real world.
Consequently, a gap between the material and the ideal world produces
language. The language increases that gap in turn. Furthermore, the
ideal world is secondary and derivative from the material world in
origin and objectivity: Language serves for the world to be ordered.
Thus language refers to the philosophical categories of ‘being’ and
‘time’. Any “super-language” should transcend some of those definitive
borders of language and be a generalization. The involving of infinity
can extend the language. Any human language is finite and addresses some
finite reality. Thus the gap between reality and any model in language
can be seen as that between infinity and its limitation to any finite
representation: Finite representations dominate over society, technics,
and the mind use. A “super-language” as an “infinite language” can
be approached in a few reference frames: Husserl’s “Back to the things
themselves!” if “phenomenon” in his philosophy is thought as the
‘word’ of the language of consciousness; the semantic and philosophical
theory of symbol: from consciousness and language to reality; the
concept of infinity in mathematics and its foundation: set or category
theory; quantum mechanics and information: the coincidence of the
quantum model and reality; quantum computer. Mankind is approached the
problem of infinite language as the language of nature
