书籍简介
我们能造人类吗？
这个问题已经被问了好几个世纪，并产生了食谱，从犹太传说中的粘土傀儡到《美丽新世界》中大规模生产的试管婴儿。《非自然》深入挖掘了“anthropoeia”——人类的人工创造——的文化历史表面之下，探索它告诉我们关于我们对生命、人性、创造力、技术和灵魂的看法。
菲利普·鲍尔(Philip Ball)追溯了传奇发明家代达罗斯(Daedalus)、歌德(Goethe)的悲剧《浮士德》(Faust)、E.T.A.霍夫曼(E.T.A. Hoffman)的自动制造魔术师以及玛丽·雪莱(Mary Shelley)的维克多·弗兰肯斯坦(Victor Frankenstein)之间的联系。他认为，这些古老的故事和神话仍然存在，并且完好地存在着。他巧妙地操纵了当前关于辅助受孕、胚胎研究和人类克隆的争论，这些争论最终使“使人”成为有血有肉的想法成为现实。
Can we make a human being?
The question has been asked for many centuries, and has produced recipes ranging from the clay golem of Jewish legend to the mass-produced test-tube babies in Brave New World. Unnatural delves beneath the surface of the cultural history of 'anthropoeia' - the artificial creation of people - to explore what it tells us about our views on life, humanity, creativity and technology, and the soul.
Philip Ball traces the threads that link the legendary inventor Daedalus, Goethe's tragic Faust, the automata-making magicians of E.T.A. Hoffman and Mary Shelley's Victor Frankenstein. He argues that these old tales and myths are alive and well, subtly manipulating the current debates about assisted conception, embryo research and human cloning, which have at last made the idea of 'making people' into flesh and blood reality.
