Acaba de publicarse en la revista alemana Rundschau, 119 (6), pp. 79-103, un artículo de Francisco Vázquez y Daniel Toscano, miembros del grupo HUM-536, titulado "Georges Canguilhem and Transhumanism: a Confrontation". Se incluye debajo el abstract del artículo:
In this paper, which is metaphilosophical and not historiographic, it is about finding in Georges
Canguilhem's work valid elements to elaborate a critique of transhumanist ideology. The originality
of Canguilhem's proposal resides first of all in placing himself outside the field of bioethics, opting
instead for a biological philosophy or a philosophy of medicine. Secondly, it maintains a
"technophilic" position, which roots technique in the normative movement of life. Finally,
Canguilhem defends a non-essentialist conception of life, understood as contingent variation and as
an evaluative activity.
