La mejora humana como tema de estudio de la filosofía de la tecnología

Palabras clave: ética científica, filosofía de la tecnología, transhumanismo, estudios sociales de la ciencia y la tecnología

Resumen

El texto explora algunos de los elementos centrales del denominado proyecto de la mejora humana a la luz de sus fundamentos epistemológicos, técnicos y antropológicos, a fin de construir un marco de interpretación que muestre cómo la filosofía de la tecnología es una herramienta valiosa para su análisis. El documento analiza definiciones y modalidades de la mejora humana, tanto desde la perspectiva de sus objetivos y alcances como desde la de sus límites y principales obstáculos, exponiendo cómo puede fortalecerse un análisis de tipo multidimensional, a partir del marco epistemológico de la filosofía de la tecnología.
