摘要: This article suggests that as we consider the social and ethical dimensions of nanotechnology development; inclusion analyses role human cognition is essential. Cognition formed from sensory-motor experiences, beliefs, ambitions, ideas; scientific research technological development are expressive these elements cognition, ultimately in goods use consume. By understanding imagination, which imbedded cognitive process, will be better equipped to glean meaning direct toward conscientious humanitarian ends.
