La casualità dell'uomo e la rinascita del pensiero aristotelico. In margine ad alcune voci della filosofia pratica tedesca

[Autom. eng. transl.] The debate on the project to eliminate the randomness of the origin of man through genetic technology has been one of the most fruitful strands of German practical philosophy in recent years. The essay reconstructs the basic theoretical lines that accompanied the elaboration of Habermas's book "The future of human nature" as a response to the questions posed by Sloterdijk in his "Rules for the human park", trying to document, in the context of German moral reflection, the theme of a revival of Aristotelian thought. The reference to the "nature of man", implicit in the debate on the transformations due to genetic technology, is thus investigated in the light of the inevitable, but for some difficult, reference to the Aristotelian moral approach.
