• Resumen

  • In the Future of Human Nature, Habermas rakes position in the public debate about the legitimacy of genetic modification of the human embryo, by introducing the philosophical concept of "an ethics of the species". Most philosophers who have commented on that text maintain that Habermas makes confusion between the biological nature of the human species and ethical obligarions. By showing incompatibility of such an interpretation with the key passages of the text in question, this paper aims to show that the meaning of the expression "an ethics of tha species" is not essentially biological, but anthropological and hermeneutic.
