Entre Bioéthique et Transhumanisme : Retrouver le Goût de la Vie

Besnier, J.-M. & Liogier, R. — IAS-UM6P

Abstract

Besnier and Liogier interrogate the boundary between bioethical restraint and transhumanist aspiration, proposing that both orientations share a deeper motivation — restoring the ‘taste for life’. Drawing on Liogier’s imergence framework and Besnier’s critique of augmented-human discourse, the article advances a humanist philosophical response to biotechnological acceleration that neither surrenders to posthuman determinism nor retreats into conservative naturalism.
