Continuities from Rousseau’s thought

Abstract

This paper addresses the issue of "new technologies", ie essentially biotechnologies and nanotechnologies. Refute will be two opposing views. The first (in general technophile), considers that every technique is morally good: but its use is susceptible to moral evaluation. The second (usually technophobic), sees the new technologies such transgressions of the natural order that has the right to oppose on principle to these technical operations and scientific investigations that make them possible.
