Call for Papers Humana.Mente Issue 26, March 2014
31.10.2013
This special issue is organized in the framework of the RoboLaw project.
The title is: Reframing the Debate on Human Enhancement
and the aim of the special issue is to address two aspects of the debate on human enhancement that deserve particular attention and are currently little analyzed: firstly, the issue of normative requirements and the issue of the ethical and the social dimension of technological visions; and secondly, the widespread use of visions and metaphors in societal debate and academic literature. Human enhancement indeed promises to change dramatically the future of humanity, and society needs to have a grasp on how to decide its own best future.
