The story of Victor Frankenstein and his creature has become a cultural touchstone through myriad theatrical renditions, movies, and other adaptations and allusions. But Shelley's original tale is far richer and more relevant to contemporary issues than the common interpretation of \u003ci\u003eFrankenstein\u003c\/i\u003e as a warning against scientific hubris.The authors of the essays in \u003ci\u003eThe Rightful Place of Science: Frankenstein\u003c\/i\u003e examine the roots and origins of Shelley's tragically flawed scientist and his benighted creature. They consider Frankenstein as a parable of creativity and responsibility that can help us better understand our current creative dilemmas. And they show how Shelley's text foreshadows future technological innovations, and the challenges we anticipate from emerging fields such as synthetic biology and artificial intelligence. The bicentennial of this story of a scientist who failed to care for his creation provides an opportunity to explore creativity and responsibility across literary, scientific, social, and cultural dimensions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 118\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.25 x 7.99 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 17, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42132151173255,"sku":"9780692964170","price":13.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/fb621fe7ccee47790c080122954b7ca4.webp?v=1732624147","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/the-rightful-place-of-science-frankenstein-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
