Francis Fukuyama - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Francis Fukuyama (born October 27, 1952 in Chicago) is an influential American philosopher, political economist and author. Fukuyama is sometimes criticized as being a bioluddite because of his critiques of the political ramifications of transhumanism, though to others Fukuyama is considered more of a bioconservative because of his cautious support for genetically modified organism technologies. Fukuyama was a member of the President's Council on Bioethics from 2001-2005. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Francis_Fukuyama   (1057 words)

The End of History and the Last Man - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Fukuyama points out that since the beginning of the Nineteenth Century, democracy, which started off as being merely one amongst many systems of government, has grown until nowadays the majority of governments in the world are termed "democratic". Fukuyama points to the economic and political difficulties that Iran and Saudi Arabia are facing, and argues that such states are fundamentally unstable: either they will become democracies with a Muslim society (like Turkey) or they will simply disintegrate. Fukuyama seems to have been pointed in Kojève's direction by the prominent neoconservative political philosopher Leo Strauss, who is also influential on Fukuyama's philosophy. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/The_End_of_History_and_the_Last_Man   (1367 words)

Parting ways with Bush's gang - www.theage.com.au Francis Fukuyama used to be part of the Washington gang that happily filled in the gaps in George Bush's intellectual and world experience. Fukuyama still considers the removal of Saddam was a "perfectly defensible and justifiable goal", but he believes the Bush Administration botched the operation and now risks bringing chaos and even greater instability to the region. Fukuyama, who at the time was serving in the State Department for the first president Bush, became a pin-up boy for the political right and target for the left. fairuse.1accesshost.com /news2/age5.htm   (1262 words)

The Observer Comment History man Francis Fukuyama was born in Chicago in 1952 into a dynasty of academics. At the time, few had heard of Francis Fukuyama, then working in the US State Department. Fukuyama has spent much of the last decade combating the more pessimistic vision of his fellow academic, Samuel Huntingdon, whose theory that the world is heading ineluctably for a violent 'clash of civilisations' was boosted by 11 September. observer.guardian.co.uk /comment/story/0,6903,1248218,00.html   (1673 words)

Reason Fukuyama assumes that democracy and liberalism were only able to flourish because of the empirical evidence that we are all more or less the same, and therefore more or less equal. If Fukuyama wishes to preserve his Aristotelian model, with present-day humanity occupying the cozy center of the universe, then he is free to make his personal decisions based on that wrong model, but he is not free to dictate choices for the rest of us. Fukuyama's world, unregulated genetic modifications to our children could result in an ever-splintering society of animals which are all "partial humans", leaving us with no clear concept of what it means to be human. reason.com /debate/eh-debate1.shtml   (7813 words)

Francis Fukuyama Fukuyama is somewhat cautious with regard to this 'end of history', for he suggests that much of the innovation and inspiration for scientific and technological discoveries in the past was 'driven' by ideological conflict. Fukuyama does recognize that the 'triumph of liberalism' will not mean that no other ideologies whatsoever will exist. Nonetheless there is a 'nostalgia' in Fukuyama's text for the functionalist 'consensus' of the 1950s. www.sociologyonline.co.uk /post_essays/PopFuku.htm   (230 words)

Francis Fukuyama & the end of history by Roger Kimball Fukuyama envisaged was not the end of history—understood as the lower-case realm of daily occasions and events—but the end of History: an evolutionary process that represented freedom’s self-realization in the world. Fukuyama complains that people have labeled Hegel & reactionary apologist for the Prussian monarchy, a forerunner of twentieth-century totalitarianism, and … a difficult-to-read metaphysician.” Let’s grant that the bit about totalitarianism is moot. Fukuyama has told us that “in the post-historical period there will be neither art nor philosophy,&; precisely because at the end of History nothing remains for those disciplines to accomplish. www.newcriterion.com /archive/10/feb92/fukuyama.htm   (2846 words)

Scotsman.com News - International - Neocon architect says: 'Pull it down' Francis Fukuyama, who wrote the best-selling book The End of History and was a member of the neoconservative project, now says that, both as a political symbol and a body of thought, it has "evolved into something I can no longer support". Mr Fukuyama once supported regime change in Iraq and was a signatory to a 1998 letter sent by the Project for a New American Century to the then president, Bill Clinton, urging the US to step up its efforts to remove Saddam Hussein from power. However, Mr Fukuyama now thinks the war in Iraq is the wrong sort of war, in the wrong place, at the wrong time. news.scotsman.com /international.cfm?id=266122006   (695 words)

Salon.com Technology Clone free Fukuyama is a member of the President's Council on Bioethics, and his arguments in "Our Posthuman Future" favoring government regulation of biomedical research have already inspired much fulmination in libertarian circles. Fukuyama told Salon why he thinks that the right to be cloned and to tinker with our offspring's genes aren't liberties that we should all enjoy, and what should be done to restrain the onrush of biotechnology. Fukuyama, a professor of international political economy at Johns Hopkins University, argues that in the near future it won't be a corrupt state, à la Big Brother, that will use genetic engineering to undermine individual rights. archive.salon.com /tech/feature/2002/05/21/fukuyama   (789 words)

Al-Ahram Weekly Profile Francis Fukuyama: The acceptable face of the neo-cons? Francis Fukuyama famously announced -- first in an article and then in a book -- that we had reached the end of history. Fukuyama is, after all, on record -- in an interview with this paper last year -- as arguing that the Muslim world is long overdue the kind of reformation spearheaded by Martin Luther in Europe. Fukuyama is undoubtedly one of America's most respected conservative commentators. weekly.ahram.org.eg /2005/755/profile.htm   (2341 words)

Francis Fukuyama as Teacher of Evil [Free Republic] Fukuyama criticizes the therapeutic platitude that children grow up just as well in a single-parent than a two-parent family, but he also makes clear that we better hope that the therapists are not all that wrong. Fukuyama notices that the size of the human brain has tripled during the time that the human line of evolution separated from that of the chimpanzees. Fukuyama dismisses as unrealistic the libertarian dream in which coercive, hierarchical political life will completely wither away, to be replaced by wholly spontaneous and efficient social cooperation. www.freerepublic.com /forum/a38e8aee15a17.htm   (9468 words)

Amardeep Singh: Francis Fukuyama: The Protestant Ethic in an age of Islamic Terrorism Francis Fukuyama: The Protestant Ethic in an age of Islamic Terrorism As for the points Fukuyama makes in the second part of the essay regarding Weber's usefulness in thinking about public religion in the contemporary world, the jury is still out for me. Fukuyama alludes to the fact that Weber's assumption that religion would disappear under capitalism turns out to be wrong. While Fukuyama's book was sharply criticized, its fundamental inspiration -- that with the universalization of liberal democracy, the Hegelian progress of History is effectively over -- was too powerful for the left simply to ignore. www.lehigh.edu /~amsp/2005/03/francis-fukuyama-protestant-ethic-in.html   (1182 words)

The bioethics council falls to earth. By William Saletan Thursday's final session of the President's Council on Bioethics features a presentation by council member Francis Fukuyama. By the end, Fukuyama has joined the melee—"This is a proposal to create an agency which would legitimate stem-cell research," he says—and council member Paul McHugh is asking him, "What do you want to get people's dukes up for?" Wilson coaches Fukuyama on how to sneak his agenda through the agency later, then gives up. Michael Gazzaniga, one of the liberals in the group, wants Fukuyama to admit that his proposal would prompt two of the council's wavering members to support research cloning, which would put a majority of the council behind that idea. www.slate.com /id/2110654   (911 words)

Total Information Awareness: Neo-Neo-Conservativism In an unprecedented expression of dissent within the neoconservative camp, noted political philosopher, author, professor and neoconservative by intellectual pedigree, Francis Fukuyama, has delivered a forceful critique of the Iraq invasion, and in many ways the recent direction of the neoconservative foreign policy group-think. Fukuyama makes a compelling case in his effort to salvage neoconservative thought from the scrap heap that it will likely be relegated to if Iraq is held up as its most relevant manifestation.
