Many people feel uneasy about enhancement technologies, yet have a hard time explaining why. This unease is often less with the technologies themselves than about the desires and aspirations that they express. I suggest here that we can diagnose the source of that unease by looking at three themes that emerge in Taylor's writings about the making of the modern self: the importance of social recognition, the ethics of authenticity, and the rise of instrumental reason.
许多人对增强技术感到不安，但却难以解释原因。这种不安往往更多地不在于技术本身，而在于它们所表达的欲望和抱负。我在此提出，我们可以通过审视泰勒关于现代自我塑造的著作中出现的三个主题来诊断这种不安的根源：社会认可的重要性、本真性伦理以及工具理性的兴起。
