This ground-breaking book explores the issues raised in the modern fields of genetic research and biotechnology. The author primarily examines these from an ontological rather than an ethical/political standpoint. The book examines the two great revolutions in genetics in the last century-the development of classical Mendelian theory and the discovery of and research into DNA-and the respective technologies generated by these fundamental discoveries. The book’s approach enables the author to cast light on the current problems in the field of genetics and biotechnology.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The last century saw two great revolutions in genetics; the development of classic Mendelian theory and the discovery and investigation of DNA. Each fundamental scientific discovery in turn generated its own distinctive technology. Biotechnology is the offspring of the latter and is expected to be the driving force behind economic growth in the twenty-first century. These two case studies enable the author to conduct a philosophical exploration of the relationship between fundamental scientific discoveries on the one hand, and the technologies that spring from them on the other. As such it is also an exercise in the philosophy of technology. 248 pp. Englisch. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781403947086
