摘要:

遗忘是人类与生俱来的限制。一方面, 凭借遗迹的帮补技术,人类得以增强记忆力;另一方面, 遗迹的帮补技术牵涉想象力,可能歪曲记忆内容。由此观之, 遗迹既是救药,又是毒药。遗忘和遗迹的辩证关系揭示了人类可以运用帮补技术纹饰其自然天性。这显现出一种反思人的存活方式及地位的人文主义。它并非盲目地歌颂人类增强的明显价值,它同时批判地检视人类增强暗藏的危险。在当代人类增强技术的伦理论争中,人类增强的人文主义提供了毫无保留地支持和全盘反对之外的第三条道路。

Abstract:

Forgetting is a limitation of the human being. On the one hand, it can be remedied through the supplement technique of heritage; On the other hand, heritage is a poison that might distort memory content when imagination overrides recollection. The dialectics of forgetting and heritage discloses a humanism that manifests how human being employs supplement techniques to cultivate their nature. More importantly, such a humanism shows that human enhancement techniques have both benefits and drawbacks. It paves the third direction in contemporary human enhancement ethics, other than the unreserved embracement and the complete rejection.

Key words: forgetting, relic, human enhancement, humanism, transcending humanism
