Eugenics, Ethics And Metaphysics

By Sri Bhagavan Das

Book Overview

Eugenics, Ethics and Metaphysics is a philosophical exploration of the controversial concept of eugenics, written by Sri Bhagavan Das. The book delves into the ethical and metaphysical implications of eugenics, which is the practice of improving the genetic quality of the human population through selective breeding or genetic engineering.Das examines the historical context of eugenics, tracing its roots back to the early 20th century and the rise of the eugenics movement. He then explores the philosophical underpinnings of eugenics, questioning whether it is morally justifiable to manipulate the genetic makeup of humans in this way.The book also delves into the metaphysical implications of eugenics, asking whether it is possible to improve the human race through genetic engineering, or whether this is a misguided attempt to play God. Das argues that eugenics raises fundamental questions about the nature of humanity and our place in the universe.Throughout the book, Das draws on a range of philosophical and religious traditions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, and Western philosophy. He offers a nuanced and thought-provoking analysis of eugenics, challenging readers to consider the ethical and metaphysical implications of this controversial practice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
