The return of naturalistic fallacy?
Abstract
Transhumanism is currently a novel and sucessful philosophy. Its critics resort to essentialist and static visión os nature and the human being. This article argues that these critics incur the “naturalistic fallacy” that D. Hume described in his book Treatise on Human Nature. This article describes the theory of the most bioconservative autor and their critique of transhumanism. The conclusión is that, although some of his criticisms are relevant in the debate with transhumanism, nevertheless, they have a weak foundation in fallinf the “naturalistuc fallacy”.
