Product details

What initially appeared as a promising utopia on the horizon of genetic engineering has long transcended the bioethical discourse and confronts us with fundamental questions about our human self-understanding: the enhancement and increasing technologization of humanity. This volume addresses the topic of enhancement from a social philosophical and technology philosophical perspective. Thomas Zoglauer outlines the essential ethical lines of argument in this debate and critically engages with enhancement in terms of freedom, social justice, equality of opportunity, and human well-being. Karsten Weber illustrates how the concept of the cyborg has been shaped by science fiction literature and has influenced medicine and neurotechnology as a utopian model. As a result of this development, the differences begin to emerge between.
