- W1494695363 abstract "In The Future of Human Nature, Habermas (2003) argues that the recognition of human beings as genetically designed could interfere with our conceptions of autonomy and selfdetermination - in essence making it impossible to conceive of ourselves as the “authors of our own life stories” (Habermas 2003, 25). Like many critics of genetic research, he worries that genetic technologies might thereby undermine the distinctively human capacity for autonomous political action. In this paper, I argue that fears about the loss of autonomy are misplaced - resting not simply on an overly deterministic understanding of genetics, but, more importantly, on an overly deterministic conception of political action. Turning to the works of Hannah Arendt, I suggest that action is never autonomous; nonetheless it can be an expression of freedom. Arendt’s work, which recognizes that we are never fully free from the constraints of biology, offers a way to think about action as deeply conditioned yet never fully constrained. In this way, her works help move us beyond critiques of autonomy and toward other, more pressing, concerns raised by genetic technologies." @default.
