The papers´ focus is on the idea of modern technological human enhancement. On one hand it tries therapeutically to correct the biological defects of humans, and intentionally to create and enhance their abilities on the other. The issue is approached from two perspectives: ethical and bio-political. The explorations derive from Habermas ´s analyses of ethical discourse, which have been influenced by new technologies. It is shown in bio-political context based on Foucault´s descriptions of bio-power, that human life, though permanently given attention by political power, has been so far approached mainly from the biological perspective. The biological, however, without being more deeply rooted and socially acknowledged, is often easily misused by totalitarian decision-makers. Important consequences follow from both of these perspectives.

The article offers an analysis of Heidegger’s writings from the 1950s in which he, influenced by the historical condition of that time, explored the patterns of modern thought. First he shows the characteristic features of the latter, and then compares them with their possible more profound forms. These investigations, so the author, might strongly inspire contemporary bio-scientific researches. On one hand, Heidegger’s investigations motivate us to identify the presuppositions of bio-scientific researches since to understand our period’s developments means to understand the patterns of thought that determine them. On the other hand, bringing these investigations further can show us the ambivalence of the researches aiming at a synthetic production of the simplest life-forms. These researches enrich our knowledge as well as the possibilities of its application, but at the same time due to strong technologization life becomes reduced to its causal and functional aspects. From Heidegger’s considerations we can also learn how to overcome the limits of a narrow objectifying thinking.

Due to recent researches in modern genetics and their practical applications, we are witnesses to the change of contemporary society as well as its social and political mechanisms. The article focuses on Rabinow’s concept of bio-sociality as a new form of communality and creating identity. Nowadays neither ethical patterns nor social mechanisms are as well-grounded as they used to be. This new bio-sociality is intended to oppose the familiar socio-biology. First, the potential analytical power of the concept of bio-sociality is under discussion followed by the determination of the aspects not taken into account by Rabinow. Second, the paper tries to answer a wider question of whether the linkage between some contemporary political power practices and the eugenic strategies of the past does not contradict the very new vision of bio-sociality proposed by Rabinow.
