科学与启蒙：植入前遗传学诊断和商谈伦理学

Science and Enlightenment:Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis and Discourse Ethics

哲学思想中有关启蒙运动的基本观点,例如康德在其《回答这个问题:什么是启蒙?》中关于理性的公共运用的探讨,被当代哲学家福柯和哈贝马斯加以重新论证。他们都注重从政治和伦理的维度去剖析这个议题。本着哈贝马斯的商谈伦理学思想,分析法国国家生命伦理委员会对诸如植入前遗传学诊断的研究报告和讨论之案例,可以更好地理解伦理委员会论证与决定的实际过程。

Basic philosophical ideas regarding Enlightenment,such as Kant's discussion about the public use of reason in his writing 'What is Enlightenment?',were re-discussed by contemporary philosophers such as Michel Foucault and Jürgen Habermas,who both insisted on the political and ethical dimensions of the subject.Examples taken from the statements and discussions of the French national bioethical committee on issues like preimplantation genetic diagnosis are analysed in order to better understand the real process of argumentation and decision-making taking place in the committee in the spirit of Jürgen Habermas' discourse ethics.
