Technikzukünfte, Wissenschaft und Gesellschaft / Futures of Technology, Science and Society: Metaphors, Worldviews, Ethics, and Law

Boldt, Joachim

Synthetic biology also incorporates a specific technoscientific understanding of its research agenda and its research objects that has philosophical and ethical implications. This edited volume sets out to explore and evaluate these synthetic biology worldviews and it proposes appropriate governance measures. In addition, legal challenges are discussed.
