We give reasons for the importance of old narratives, including myths, in ethical thinking about science and technology. On
the example of a legend about creating artificial men we explore the side effects of having too much success and the problem of intermediate social status of bioengineered artefacts. 相似文献

Modern microscopes create a capacity to see and act at the scale where unassisted human senses are powerless. Images of nanoscale
phenomena represent a world that effectively intervenes in human life while remaining distant and ineffable. This combination
of an unbridgeable distance between man and technology with a real power of the latter over the human condition is characteristic,
not only of nanotechnology, but also of the theology of sacred icons that mediate in the knowledge of divine reality. We draw
an anthropological analogy between nanotechnological images and sacred icons, and we employ it to analyze the functioning
of such images in society. The questions that we study include: a) the art of mediation in representing the ineffable and
its necessity; b) the effects provoked by such images; c) primitive comprehension of nanoscale images. This work has repercussions
for a wide variety of disciplinary accounts and practices, from the anthropologist and the philosopher to the laboratory scientist,
the art critic, and the engineer who conceives and designs nanoscale instruments. 相似文献

Synthese - If physics is a science that unveils the fundamental laws of nature, then the appearance of mathematical concepts in its language can be surprising or even mysterious. This was Eugene... 相似文献
