项目摘要

I tried in this research project to think through the cultural, social and philosophical implications of the contemporary genetics and the change that may succeed in the rapid development of genetics. We know that the human genome project made good in deciphering the base sequences of human genome. After this preparatory stage of the recognition of what the human being is in molecular level, we will begin to identify the important genes that determine more or less the functions and the morphology of the human being.By the way, this process of deciphering of human genome is almost necessarily accompanied by the radical change of human self-understanding, especially on the issues of given-ness and constructive character of what the human being is.We know that the same development of human genetics reveals the fact that what they once called "the central dogma" is too simplistic, and that the determination of the manner and the function of our existence is far more complicated. In this se … More nse, the simplistic reductionism of the human being into the base sequence of DNA is obsolete even in the genetic sense.With this reserve and restriction, we can still affirm that the genetic self-understanding of human being will become more important in the near future. With this fundamental judgment, I tried to survey many documents that analyse the cultural and social implications of genetic self-understanding of the human being, especially that of 1990's American documents.More concretely speaking, I reviewed many kinds of thoughts or thought experimentations on human germ-line gene modification and its cultural implications. In this theoretical scene, we can say that we human being become a sort of god-like creator that assert that what is good for health or social value like female beauty become not something to be given, but something that we can construct and design. We human being become a sort of the self-creator that can choose the beauty, the goodness or the health of our own, in that we can theoretically intervene into our genetic patrimony.With this inspiration, I could write some articles in Japanese or in English, and especially a book written in Japanese, entitled "Philosophy of Genetic Modification".With no big infatuation, I think that I can say that with this research program, I could realize one of the important versions of gene-politics and gene-philosophy in our Japanese culture.

在这个研究项目中，我试图思考当代遗传学的文化、社会和哲学含义，以及可能在遗传学快速发展中取得成功的变化。我们知道人类基因组计划成功地破译了人类基因组的基本序列。在分子水平上认识人类是什么的准备阶段之后，我们将开始识别或多或少决定人类功能和形态的重要基因。顺便说一句，人类基因组的解密过程几乎必然伴随着人类自我认识的根本变化，特别是关于人类是什么的固有性和建设性特征的问题。我们知道，人类遗传学的同样发展揭示了一个事实，即他们曾经所谓的“中心教条”过于简单化，而我们生存的方式和功能的决定要复杂得多。在这sè ...更多信息因此，将人类简单化为DNA碱基序列的简化论即使在遗传学意义上也是过时的，在这种保留和限制下，我们仍然可以肯定，在不久的将来，人类的遗传自我理解将变得更加重要。基于这一基本判断，笔者试图通过对大量有关人类基因自我理解的文化和社会意义的文献，特别是20世纪90年代美国文献的梳理，具体地说，笔者回顾了人类生殖系基因改造的各种思想或思想实验及其文化意义。在这个理论场景中，我们可以说，我们人类成为一种类似上帝的创造者，断言对健康或社会价值有益的东西，比如女性的美丽，不是被给予的，而是我们可以构建和设计的。我们人类成为一种自我创造者，可以选择我们自己的美丽，善良或健康，因为我们可以在理论上干预我们的遗传遗产。有了这个灵感，我可以用日语或英语写一些文章，特别是用日语写的书，题为“转基因哲学”。没有大的迷恋，我想我可以说，通过这个研究计划，我可以体会到基因政治和基因哲学在我们日本文化中的一个重要版本。少
