[FRA:] Telos loves the Pope

[matthew piscioneri]

and this all points in the direction of the debate I think contemporary CT would find useful to develop. If what CT has traditionally railed against (conditions of oppression) are somehow rooted in our biophysical "humanness", then (and given the requisite technological capacity) would CT be obliged to espouse let's say some form of remedial intervention in the genome?
 
It's an issue Habermas broaches in his writing of an ethic of the species, where he appears to stress the problem that arises from presuming the consensus of future generations. As the technological capacity becomes more available, it's a set of issues that won't be going away and as long as CT is excessively burdened by all the Idealist ballast it has accrued, it's a debate i don't see CT contributing too very sensibly :-).
