This study, "Conceptual and Terminological Landscape of Transhumanism: A Dictionary," provides a comprehensive reference framework for scholars, students, and researchers exploring the intellectual, technological, and political dimensions of the transhumanist condition. Drawing from philosophy of technology, futurology, critical theory, and Marxist analyses of science and technology, this study systematizes a wide range of existing and emergent concepts-spanning biotechnology, artificial intelligence, brain-machine interfaces, human enhancement, digital immortality, and posthuman ethics. In addition to defining terms, it also critically examines how these concepts emerged from techno-capitalist, socio-economic, and ideological processes that are transforming the world. Every entry is based on what people are talking about right now and what they think might happen in the future with both human and non-human intelligence. This study acts as a historical record, a way to contemplate things, and a way to understand how human evolution, technological progress, and social organization interact in the twenty-first century.
