Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Daedalus or Science and the Future' is a visionary and provocative essay that explores the profound impact of scientific advancement on the human condition. Written by the pioneering biologist J. B. S. Haldane, this work serves as a foundational text in the field of transhumanism and speculative science. Haldane adopts the perspective of a future historian to examine how biological and chemical discoveries might reshape society, ethics, and the physical nature of humanity itself.The book is perhaps most famous for introducing the concept of ectogenesis-the development of human embryos in artificial environments-and for its candid assessment of how scientific innovation often appears blasphemous or horrific to the contemporary observer. By invoking the Greek myth of Daedalus, the ingenious inventor who dared to defy the limits of nature, Haldane challenges readers to consider the moral responsibilities that accompany great knowledge. 'Daedalus or Science and the Future' remains a landmark of twentieth-century thought, offering a startlingly prescient look at the intersection of biology, technology, and human evolution.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Daedalus; Or, Science and the Future' is a visionary and provocative exploration of the potential impact of scientific discovery on human society. Based on a lecture delivered by the renowned scientist J. B. S. Haldane at Cambridge, this influential work examines how advances in biology, chemistry, and physics might reshape the future of the human race.Haldane introduces groundbreaking concepts such as ectogenesis-the development of human embryos in artificial environments-and discusses the profound moral and ethical dilemmas posed by genetic engineering and biotechnological innovation. By drawing parallels with the Greek myth of Daedalus, the author warns of the dual nature of scientific progress: its power to create and its potential for destruction. A foundational text in the field of futurology and a precursor to modern transhumanist thought, 'Daedalus; Or, Science and the Future' remains a compelling study of the relationship between human values and technological evolution. This work offers a fascinating glimpse into early 20th-century scientific optimism and the enduring questions surrounding the limits of human intervention in nature.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
