道德生物增強倫理學批判的扛鼎之作

The Landmark Work of Ethical Critique in Moral Bioenhancement

Abstract

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in Chinese; abstract in English.

Professor Xu Xiangdong’s paper addresses the value assumptions and logic of arguments for moral bioenhancement. Whilst affirming the promising prospects of moral bioenhancement, Professor Xu also critiques its fundamental flaws, namely its strong scientistic approach, neglect of the practical nature of morality, and, most critically, the manipulation of humans by technology and the “forgetting of human subjectivity”. Professor Xu consistently centres human moral life as the foundation and places humanity at the core of morality, which holds significant value for the establishment of a Chinese bioethics framework.
