Hub Zwart’s article is about the idea—and the practice—of an embedded philosophy of science, that is, a philosophy participating in and at the same time reflecting about the current state of the sciences facing the Anthropocene, to which I am very sympathetic. There are, however, two caveats. The first is that participation is always in danger to end up in a more or less uncritical eulogy, in the present case of synthetic biology. The second is that I have doubts about packing the historical path of scientific development into the Procrustes bed of Hegelian dialectics. This usually leads to one or the other form of teleology.

哈勃·兹沃特（Hub Zwart）对“人类世间的技术辩证法实践”的评论

哈勃·兹沃特（Hub Zwart）的文章是关于一种嵌入式科学哲学的思想和实践的，即一种参与并同时反映人类世代科学现状的哲学，对此我非常同情。但是，有两个警告。首先是，在合成生物学的当前情况下，参与总是有可能或多或少地受到非批判性颂词的威胁。其次，我对将科学发展的历史道路纳入黑格尔辩证法的Procrustes床感到怀疑。这通常导致一种或另一种目的论。
