What will be the posthuman society? As usual,
there are two prospects: the pessimistic view and
the optimistic view. According to pessimistic view,
as technologies advance emerge new beings called
as transhuman with enhanced intelligence and

artificial beings, human dignity and equality, and
meaning of life. The aim of this article is to examine
being and relation in posthuman age in the point of
Nietzsche’s philosophy. I examine transhuman as a
typical being of posthuman age and ressentiment
as its relation respectively. Nietzsche has influenced
the rise of transhumanism and posthumanism, as
can be seen from direct or indirect confessions
from pioneers of them, though there are debates
about whether the influence is real or superficial.

of Master and Slave, ressentiment, and Overman
(Übermensch), I contend that (a) in the posthuman
age new classes will emerge, which correspond to
Master and Slave, (b) there will be a new ressentiment of Slaves toward their Masters, and (c) Overman as a creator of new value will be required in
