The Case against Perfection 2024 pdf epub mobi 电子书
最悲哀的莫过于随着年龄的增长而变得保守,为可以对问题进行回答而沾沾自喜,为自己少得可怜的一点知识而自鸣得意。 本文灵感来自一篇小文章,罗伯特·林德的《无知的乐趣》。 无知的乐趣 摘录其中片段开始今天的文字。 如果说人们似乎已经无所不知,那也只是因为我们几乎一无...
评分《反对完美》 人性朝神性的进化,两面性存在矛盾:人类集体(一元神)和个体(诸神),导致个人理性无法操纵集体理性。有些个人已经开始感到不安,但集体人类不会浅尝辄止,终将会突破人和神的界限。 读前问题: 一、现在的好等于未来的好吗? 二、好的基因vs好的神经:先天有...
评分对桑德尔不了解的读者朋友,亦可从此书入手反思到很多,同时也反照他的思想,得到关于道德隐忧与伦理困境的共感。 赵汀阳先生的导论“完美是最好的吗”写的非常不错,直接点明这是桑先生从科学技术(基因)改善人自身之自然性质的问题入手,尝试去处理关于未来的理解。然而...
评分 评分21世纪科技的迅猛进步,赋予人类开展”普罗米修斯式“工程改造人类基因、追求完美以可能,也给人类带来道德和伦理的种种困扰。这正是桑德尔尝试通过这一薄薄小书的提问、探讨和辩证来激发我们思考的触因所在。 以基因工程为例:肌肉增强、记忆力增强、身高提升和性别选择不但...

Listen to a short interview with Michael Sandel. Host: Chris Gondek. Producer: Heron & Crane. Breakthroughs in genetics present us with a promise and a predicament. The promise is that we will soon be able to treat and prevent a host of debilitating diseases. The predicament is that our newfound genetic knowledge may enable us to manipulate our nature - to enhance our genetic traits and those of our children. Although most people find at least some forms of genetic engineering disquieting, it is not easy to articulate why. What is wrong with re-engineering our nature? "The Case against Perfection" explores these and other moral quandaries connected with the quest to perfect ourselves and our children. Michael Sandel argues that the pursuit of perfection is flawed for reasons that go beyond safety and fairness. The drive to enhance human nature through genetic technologies is objectionable because it represents a bid for mastery and dominion that fails to appreciate the gifted character of human powers and achievements. Carrying us beyond familiar terms of political discourse, this book contends that the genetic revolution will change the way philosophers discuss ethics and will force spiritual questions back onto the political agenda. In order to grapple with the ethics of enhancement, we need to confront questions largely lost from view in the modern world. Since these questions verge on theology, modern philosophers and political theorists tend to shrink from them. But our new powers of biotechnology make these questions unavoidable. Addressing them is the task of this book, by one of America's preeminent moral and political thinkers.
终于看完了,最有效率的读书果然是在通勤路上。简直是学术/法律写作范本,议论很给力,但是结论是走到一半戛然而止。
评分每一条论证都有详实的论据,嗯,比较有条理,值得读,但似乎不需要太详细,主线很明显。
评分By embracing the allure and freedom of genetic engineering, humans may cure more diseases and have more control on themselves and descendants. However, we're also likely to lose the chance of fair competition, the appreciation of life and talent, and the respect for hard-working at the same time.
评分新年以来读完的第一本书,很喜欢Sandel对人为什么要接受并尊重the given的论述,"an openness to the unbidden"
评分respect; humility; responsibility and solidarity。到底什么是人,什么是人性,什么又是价值。arguement非常漂亮的书,少见。
