Political Minimalism and Social Debates: The Case of Human-Enhancement Technologies Rodríguez Alcázar, Francisco Javier Human enhancement Political moralism Political realism Political minimalism “This is a post-peer-review, pre-copyedit version of an article published in Journal of Bioethical Inquiry. The final authenticated version is available online at: https://doi.org/10.1007/s11673-017-9790-0”. A faulty understanding of the relationship between morality and politics hinders many contemporary debates on human enhancement. As a result, some ethical reflections on enhancement undervalue its social dimensions, while some social approaches to the topic lack normative import. In this essay, I use my own conception of the relationship between ethics and politics (which I call “political minimalism”) in order to support and strengthen the existing social perspectives on human-enhancement technologies. 2018-02-05T11:25:23Z 2018-02-05T11:25:23Z 2017-06-20 info:eu-repo/semantics/article Rodríguez-Alcázar, J.
