Rationality at the Limits and the Limits of Rationality:The Question of the Integrity and Existence of the Human Species
Journal Title: Meta: Research in Hermeneutics, Phenomenology, and Practical Philosophy - Year 2011, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
The purpose of this article is to address the question of our responsibility as human beings, by taking into consideration the intersection between ethics and science. I intend to prove that the issues raised by the existence and the integrity of the human species is a new and curious form of power founded on what I call “the principle of non-reciprocity” that unites the humanity of today with the future generations. The question that I address is the following: how to act on the future of humanity so that this action can not be regarded as unfair?
