Éléments pour une théorie biologique du sujet by Lionel Simonneau

“…Finally, we end by an interrogation: how is any theory of the subject, especially those developed in this particular issue of this journal, getting on when it is applied not to the current man but to the so-called “enhanced human”, in a transhumanist society, where biological, physical, cognitive, emotional characteristics are hugely modified by the synthetic biology and the nanotechnologies?…”
