RAMIREZ CATTANEO, Guillermo. The "Future of human nature" according to Habermas. Reflections on his rationale for an ethics of the species. Prax. filos. [online]. 2015, n.41, pp.165-191. ISSN 0120-4688.
Following Habermas, "what is so unsettling is the fact that the dividing line between the nature we are and the organic equipment we give ourselves is being blurred", repeatedly highlighting the difference between what we are "by nature" from the "made" or the "grown", avoiding at all costs any ambiguity in the boundaries. It will be exposed that cultural processes, in addition to "nature", have been giving us both, a physical body and a social body; therefore, the dividing line has vanished. It is urgent then, to wonder if under these circumstances, in Habermas' terms, our ethical self-understanding as members of the species is being modified
