Abstract

Hyperagency objections appeal to the risk that cognitive enhancement may negatively impact our well-being by giving us too much control. I charitably formulate and engage with a prominent version of this objection due to Sandel (2009) -viz., that cognitive enhancement may negatively impact our well-being by creating an "explosion" of responsibilities. I first outline why this worry might look prima facie persuasive, and then I show that it can ultimately be defended against. At the end of the day, if we are to resist cognitive enhancement, it should not be based on a Sandel-style hyperagency argument.

认知增强、超代理和责任爆炸。

超代理的反对意见认为，认知能力的提升可能会给我们带来过多的控制权，从而对我们的福祉产生负面影响。我善意地提出并参与了桑德尔（2009）提出的这一反对意见的一个重要版本--即认知能力的提升可能会因造成责任的 "爆炸 "而对我们的福祉产生负面影响。我首先概述了为什么这种担忧表面上看起来很有说服力，然后说明它最终是可以抵御的。归根结底，如果我们要抵制认知增强，就不应该基于桑德尔式的超代理论证。

期刊介绍： This bimonthly publication explores the shared themes and concerns of philosophy and the medical sciences. Central issues in medical research and practice have important philosophical dimensions, for, in treating disease and promoting health, medicine involves presuppositions about human goals and values. Conversely, the concerns of philosophy often significantly relate to those of medicine, as philosophers seek to understand the nature of medical knowledge and the human condition in the modern world. In addition, recent developments in medical technology and treatment create moral problems that raise important philosophical questions. The Journal of Medicine and Philosophy aims to provide an ongoing forum for the discussion of such themes and issues.
