BÍOS. EL CUERPO DEL ALMA Y EL ALMA DEL CUERPO

In this book, the author talks about the philosophy of life sciences. Due to the current speed of scientific discoveries, it is a must to think about the ethic, social, politic, human and natural consequences that imply the technical applications of knowledge. The interaction between theory and praxis entails, among other things, the transformation of the conceptions of the being of the human being, the world and nature; is precisely this problem those Bios: meaning the body of the soul and the search of the soul to answer from an interdisciplinary and critic point of view. As well with this same Greek word, the author considers life beyond the animals biology, in other words, she emphasizes in the importance of thinking about its ways, its characteristics and above all its quality. So in order to get away from the reductionist dualisms, Juliana Gonzlez embodies the soul and spiritualizes de body as a starting point to a new humanism. This is as a front to the destructive potential of science that transcends clinical therapy and diverts it to the subjugation of the natural and human perfection; this work is a reaffirmation of life, an ontological, phenomenological and dialectical reflection that points to the obligation of bestowing the Techno-scientific process with a bioethical perspective.
