The Sleep of Reason: Misuses and Distortions of Biology
Socialism 2019
July 04, 2019
With Lydia Patton and Stuart Newman
After a historical overview of the debate on biological determinism, updated with a more contemporary questioning of the concept of race in general, we will talk about the social and philosophical impact of new technologies that are being proposed for engineering humans at the embryonic stage, sometimes termed “techno-eugenics."
Save the date! Socialism 2020 will be July 2-5, 2020 in Chicago. Visit socialismconference.org for updates.
