De la naturaleza a la biojurídica.

The article proposes a recovery of the philosophy of nature in a metaphysical sense as the basis for a foundation of biolaw. The reference author is Francesco D'Agostino, a recently deceased Italian legal philosopher and bioethicist: his cultural heritage is put into dialogue with the thought of other masters of contemporary philosophy, such as Sergio Cotta and Robert Spaemann. The essential thesis that emerges from the work is that only a metaphysically open conception of human nature is able to provide biolegal reflection with a solid foundation for the correct formulation and solution of the problems and challenges that current manipulative biotechnologies pose to us, avoiding both the forward escapes of posthumanism and the theoretical surrender to technomorphic praxis.
