NetFuture: Science, Technology, and Human Responsibility Science, Technology, and Human Responsibility NetFuture is an electronic newsletter with periodic postings. Having focused for many years on technology and its social implications, it has now turned more toward the problems of a science influenced by visions of technology. In particular, the newsletter is currently dealing with issues in genetics, molecular biology, evolution, and the nature of the organism. The aim is to overcome the limitations of the nineteenth-century materialism that still dominates biological thinking (as opposed to the rather more “liberated” thinking of the physicist). The aim, in other words, is to find a more living approach to the dynamism, plasticity, and intentionality of the organism. Organisms are creatures of meaning and purpose, of directed striving, and their activity is a kind of speaking. But while these central features are often implicit in biological descriptions, a recognition of them has yet to transform the most deeply-rooted, materialistic thought habits of the biologist.
